DILIM's inaugural anthology of dark fiction Galleon Dreaming explores the trade era and how colonization continues to shape our island chain.
Aswang, ghostly sailors, and ocean creatures navigate their own journeys between displacement and a sense of belonging.
In a time between traditions, these stories cross borders to become nightmares in the wake of stormy seas of dreaming.
