Last Seen After Midnight
AuthorBudjette Tan
ISBN9710545078
Cadena de Amor 1 star – I just did not get this. The story is about an old woman who can spread vines (that reminded me of a recent read The Ruins that I really liked) like spreading dust at Sahara Desert. There is a scene when the responding police said: “I should’ve brought the lawn mower!” Hello,...
The Kite of Stars and Other Stories
AuthorDean Francis Alfar
ISBN9712719233
The [over] price that I paid for this book is so worth it . You see, I ended up buying the last "almost damaged, but not as a sale item" copy on a kind-of high-end bookstore, because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find another copy. But DFA made that Php xx5 amount I paid for the book worth it!!

Try to remain calm if you suddenly spot a tikbalang speeding down EDSA or a manananggal swooping across the Makati skyline. While partying at the Fort, never ever let the enkanto at the bar buy you a drink.

Yet, there are deadlier things than walk the streets...
Walong Diwata ng Pagkahulog
AuthorEdgar Calabia Samar
ISBN9712720666
"Binubuksan ng nobelang ito ang panibagong yugto sa pagsusulat ng nobela. Malayo na ito sa tradisyon ng mga romantisista at modernista, na laging mabigat sa dibdib ang paglalahad ng naratibo. Sa akdang ito wala nang imposible sa materyal at maging sa pamamaraan ng paglalahad nito. Tinatangka nitong...
A Question of Heroes
AuthorNick Joaquín
ISBN9712715450
A very educational read. Nick Joaquin (1917-2004) was one of the National Artists of the Philippines so even if he did not use footnotes and references in this book, I could not help but believe him. After all, he was born in 1917 that was just about 2 decades after the Spanish-Filipino and Filipino-American...

ISBN9712716945
An endless festival amidst an endless war is the central image of this stunning novel about the Philippines of the Marcos era, a time of brutality, treachery, and betrayed passion.

As the novel opens, our focus, in the Book of Acts, is on three young people—Eliza Hansen, Adrian Banyaga, and...
