This debut collection gathers six stories by Bikolana writer Mia Tijam. Frank Penones, Jr. writes,! ‘The flow of the native imagination is constant and ceaseless in Flowers for Thursday. This lucidity springs from the consciousness about Iriga. It is, however, not just a story of a place. Iriga, a precolonial settlement and center to the cult of aswang, only serves as a wharf for sailing to the boundless expanse of wondering and the wandering imagination in this relative recent genre called speculative fiction.
