About this book
MONSTERS ARE MYTHS. ALIENS ARE FICTION.That's what young Ambrosio believes, not his crazy Lola's stories about robot-riding Nuno, and Kapres from space. But now she's dead, and Ambrosio's about to learn that she wasn't so crazy after all...EVERY STORY HAS ITS OWN TRUTH.Mythspace vol. 1 is a collection of six stories, each exploring a shared universe where Philippine folklore creatures -- Tikbalangs, Kapres, Manananggals -- were inspired by alien civilizations. Each creature is re-imagined and used to populate a science fiction universe that is rooted in Philippine oral tradition. From Ambrosio's journey, to a Kapre war, to a Manananggal coming of age, Mythspace will take you on a journey both strange and familiar.SPACE OPERA. PINOY STYLE.
