Here's an "extra" #FilipinoReads that I read in November that for some reason I wasn't going to feature even though the graphic novel anthology has lots of Filipino creators.
The Night Marchers and Other Oceanian Tales edited by Kel McDonald is the fourth collection in the Cautionary Fables and Fairytales series exploring different countries' folklore and mythology with this one containing selections from Fiji, Hawaii, and the Philippines. What's odd is the uneven distribution since, out of the 16 stories, only 1 is from Fiji and Hawaii has 6 and the Philippines has 9. (Maybe there's a different version with more countries being represented because the publisher's official description mentions 24 stories and New Zealand?)
I enjoyed "The Story of Benito" and "The Ibalon Epic: a Retelling of Baltog" the most.
