Book Overview

What does a Mananangal (Viscera Sucker) in Riyadh, A Mambabarang (Witch) in Dubai, and an Oryol (Water Nymph) in Hong Kong have in common? In this collection of short stories, they are all Filipino migrant workers struggling to survive the challenges of the OFW experience. These are stories of love and resilience. Of enduring against the monstrosity of abuse, assault, isolation, and fractured family dynamics. A speculative exploration that answers the question; What would happen if mythic Philippine supernatural creatures were forced confront the horrors of the OFW life?
