FILIPINO FICTION

Another of the Penumbra novellas, this time weaving the Filipino and Malay myths of ghosts associated with death in childbirth, such as langsuyar, pontianak and tianak into a very modern tale revolving around pregnancy fears.

Take a step into the sleepy little town of Mapayapas a small community ran by the corrupt mayor who, among other things just happens to be an aswang. A delightful novella blending Poppy Z. Brite-style Gothic with Filipino folklore.
