The Fifth Reiteration

Or something similar to it: the Philippine Speculative Fiction Volume 5 has now a launch date at the Fully-Booked Bonifacio High Street U-View Theater on April 24, 2010 (3 pm).

Philippine Speculative Fiction has become one of the country’s most consistent and highly-anticipated yearly anthology series, showcasing the continuing development of the exciting field of speculative fiction writing. This fifth volume, edited by Nikki Alfar and Vincent Michael Simbulan, collects a broad spectrum of short stories that define, explore, and sometimes blur the boundaries of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and all things in between—featuring the work of both literary luminaries and very new voices, from across the archipelago and the globe. PSF 5 contains stories by:

• Angelo R. ‘Sarge’ Lacuesta
• Dean Francis Alfar
• Rica Bolipata-Santos
• Paolo Gabriel V. Chikiamco
• Timothy James Dimacali
