“Mia Tijam’s stories come from a place of memory and study that reminds Filipino readers of who and what we are; and more, it introduces non-Filipino readers to the hidden psyche of our culture. Her voice is proudly of the Philippines, and her type of speculative fiction does not shirk from telling her tales in a distinct voice and language, unafraid to touch on subjects that may be challenging and difficult.” —Kenneth Yu, Mouths to Speak, Voices to Sing Now’s the time to read Mia Tijam’s new book from Rosarium, THE AND THAT WAS! by @tijammia

Our August Short Story Month continues with one of the most original stories we've read in recent years. In "Wishes Do Come True", Mia Tijam blends magical realism with political history to tell the unforgettable story of a young woman whose dreams of changing the world leave behind another life—a shadow that remembers every wish she could no longer fulfill. Tender, heartbreaking, and quietly profound, this remarkable story explores love, loss, idealism, and the fragile border between the lives we live and the lives we imagine...

“Every story in Mia Tijam’s The and That Was is an enthralling portal I gleefully fell through into the many complicated, magical lives and versions of the Philippines. This bold, polyvocal collection of bruha cackles, river dragons, and fairy tale realities will transport you. The and That Was will nestle comfortably on your shelf next to Kelly Link’s Magic for Beginners, Helen Oyeyemi’s What is Not Yours is Not Yours, and Isabel Yap’s Never Have I Ever. Read it!” —Rachelle Cruz, God’s Will for Monsters by @tijammia

On sale this month from Rosarium Publishing: The and That Was, by Mia Tijam! The and That Was is an archipelago of words: lush and mountainous in parts, civilized veneer in others, almost all of it seemingly born from instances when the forces within could no longer be restrained. The thing about archipelagos is to not view them as chains of islands, but as the space that envelops them. That is what this collection of speculative stories set in the Philippines contains. The land. The culture. The rustic and the urban, religious and heretical. The fractures. The spaces. The cities without dragons. . . . We can’t wait for you to read this new collection! https://rosariumpublishing.com/novels/novels/the-and-that-was.html by @tijammia

We’re diving into Mia Tijam’s Flowers for Thursday. It’s a masterclass in Philippine speculative fiction that feels like a fever dream of small-town gossip, pop culture, and regional folklore. Tijam weaves English and Bicolano with Baklese (gay slang), creating a space where aswang act as fairy godmothers and queer imagination outsmarts small-town constraints. It’s fierce, brilliant, and beautifully independent. #PhilippineLiterature #SpeculativeFiction #PrideMonth #IndiePublisher Visit www.hottropiks.com for Filipino pop culture and book news. taken in Historic Filipinotown of Los Angeles by @tijammia

An image that envisions each story. That was the challenge for Rustom Pujado for the interior art in "The And That Was", and it was not easy. Going on this ride with Tom who's a self-taught illustrator, painter, and animator from Naga via @rosariumpub. by @tijammia
