ginger & smoke is a digital publication produced in Vancouver BC, dedicated to reclaiming Filipino folklore, mythology, and fairy tales—retelling them with new fire while honouring their roots. Here, the boundaries between genres blur, but the heart beats strongest for fantasy and speculative fiction.
