The Little Gods

In the hush of dawn along Manila's old streets, ancient beliefs linger beneath the pulse of modernity, and destinies are shaped by the unseen hands of tradition and change. Here, the boundaries between East and West blur, inviting readers into a world where cultural identity narratives unfold with both tenderness and irony. Composed in the early 1900s, these short stories from the Philippines capture the complex dance between colonial influence and indigenous spirit, offering a rare window into the aspirations, humour, and heartache of a society in transition. The collection's tales, imbued with eastern mysticism literature and the sharp observation of early 20th century fiction, remain as resonant today as when they first appeared, revealing the enduring struggles and joys of everyday life in a land poised between worlds.For decades, this book was out of print and its evocative explorations of historical fiction in the Philippines all but forgotten. Now, republished by Alpha Editions, it has been restored for today's and future generations, allowing a new audience to experience its rich tapestry of cultural exploration fiction. Each story deftly weaves together the subtle tensions of eastern western cultural themes, inviting reflection on the universal search for belonging and meaning. The author's keen insight into the Filipino psyche and the nuanced interplay of tradition and progress make these works essential reading for anyone fascinated by Philippine literature or the broader currents of world fiction.This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, meticulously brought back to life for both casual readers and classic-collection enthusiasts. Whether you are drawn to the delicate storytelling of Rowland Thomas short stories or the broader landscape of historical fiction in the Philippines, these pages offer a luminous journey through time and place, preserving a vital piece of literary heritage for all who seek to understand the soul of a nation.

Fields of Asphodel

Praise for Fields of Asphodel “This lyrical debut is blooming with unique floral magic, intricate world-building, and pitch-perfect forbidden love. Fans of spicy fantasy romance and Greek mythology will be completely obsessed. Fields of Asphodel is a romance with Death like you’ve never read before, and you will not be able to put it down.” —Sydney J. Shields, USA Today bestselling author of The Honey Witch “An epic and grand love story, worthy of the myths that inspired it! Fields of Asphodel weaves beloved Greek myths with coming-of-age and family drama to create a story that feels both fresh and classic.” —Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop “A sultry, sweet inversion of the Hades and Persephone myth, wreathed with flowers and rooted in the belief that generational cycles can be broken.” —S. T. Gibson, international bestselling author of A Dowry Of Blood “By turns sweet and steamy, Fields of Asphodel is a refreshing take on the Hades and Persephone myth, where their children reverse their parents’ dynamic (with healthier results).” —Caitlin Rozakis, New York Times bestselling author of Startup Hell “A captivating, tender, and romantic tale, Fields of Asphodel spins a lyrical world that explores the strength of being soft and the dangers of love. When the fierce goddess of flowers and the alluringly gentle god of death must fix the chaos they’ve caused, flowers will not be the only thing blooming between them. Whimsical. Warmhearted. And a stunning debut.” —Taylor Epperson, author of Second Time’s a Charm “With a lush story that twists and ensnares like a vine, readers will be captivated by Fields of Asphodel.” —Mai Corland, New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of the Five Broken Blades trilogy
