Dean Francis Alfar's short story collection

Next on my reading list: Dean Francis Alfar's A Field Guide to the Roads of Manila and Other Stories.

A Field Guide to the Roads of Manila is a map to the worlds of award-winning fictionist Dean Francis Alfar's imagination. The real and the unreal intersect in these fifteen stories of fantasy, science fiction and horror, and celebrate the wonder of speculative fiction.
