The Fantasy, Science Fiction and Speculative Fiction in the Philippines weblog is a repository of thoughts re: SSFF (speculative, science fiction and fantasy) productions made within the Republic of the Philippines, or by Filipino writers. It is currently maintained by Rebecca Arcega (Bhex), and is also a mirror for announcements made in the Philippine Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Yahoogroup. Its mission is to promote discussion and facilitate the spread of information related to the SSFF scene in the Philippines, and/or SSFF works published by Filipino writers. Comments are very welcome.

Gunned Down is an anthology of ten Western short stories illustrated by Brazilian artists, published by Shane Amaya’s Terra Major Imprint.

From Jim Witt’s review of Gunned Down:

The anthology’s strongest stories are also two of its longest – Stagecoach Mary by Pam Noles and Bruno D’Angelo, and Indian Face by Shane Amaya and Gabriel Ba. These two stories alone make this collection worthwhile; despite the shortcomings of several of the other stories included, these standouts make Gunned Down well worth the price of admission.
