Reviews
"This is such a beautiful book....these stories are personal and ancestral. Reading this felt like going home." -- Jasmine-Grace Nacu (@steepedinstories), Bookstagram, "We love retellings of Greek mythology. We love retellings of Norse mythology, but have you tried Filipino mythology? These are three really fun, essential fantasy reads. If you want to get more into Filipino mythology. Alternative Alamat is a really, really great compilation of short stories from a lot of very prominent Filipino writers." -- Deanna Duxbury, TikTok / #BookTok @deannajduxburywrites, "This delightfully illustrated dive into the relatively unknown Indigenous mythology, or alamat , of the Philippines brings together 13 fables and foibles that deliver modern takes on classic legends while honoring the original stories and preserving their poetry. Combined with an informative introduction, glossaries of gods and terms, and a list of further reading, this proves a welcoming and thoroughly entertaining introduction to Filipino mythology." --Publishers Weekly
