FROM THE AUTHOR’S PREFACE:

"This book is a collection of non-fiction and reportage on fringe cultures and phenomena from 1998 to 2011. In the course of writing for magazines, newspapers, and other print publications, space constraints have often necessitated that articles be edited down to fit their page allotment. I have since restored those pieces to their previous length, tone, and scope -- as they were originally written.

In the interest of historicity, I have endeavored to find updates on as many of the stories as possible."

Seroks, Iteration 1: Mirror Man, is the first in a series of short fiction collections set in the dystopic future world which was first seen in the Palanca Award-winning short story "Kaming Mga Seroks” by David Hontiveros.

In this Iteration, paired with the singular artistic sensibilities of Alan Navarra, Hontiveros continues to explore this clone-littered world where everything is a commodity, and everything can be pirated, even people.  A world where the truth is ugly and a fake can be a hero.

The Kobayashi Maru of Love (4th Edition)

The Kobayashi Maru of Love

By Carljoe Javier

ISBN: 971-0545-17-5

Creative Non-fiction novel

SRP:  Php200.00

Language: English

The Kobayashi Maru of Love is a book about love, in all its maddening, inscrutable, exquisite permutations: requited, unrequited, elusive, gone missing, left for dead, held hostage, lost, found. But it is ultimately a book about women, one woman, at least, and at first, then several others, gorgeous and fleeting and elusive and imaginary, and the severities of the pull they have on our grotty, awkward male selves... Self-help, diary entries, encyclopedia of boy things, stumblebum comedy of manners, rom-com gone wrong, RPG walkthrough, horror story. The Kobayashi Maru of Love is all this and funny as all hell, too.

~ from the Introduction by Dodo Dayao

Ang Panlimang Alas Ay Nakabaon Sa Iyong Dibdib

Ang Panlimang Alas Ay Nakabaon Sa Iyong Dibdib

By Alan Navarra

ISBN:  971-0545-16-7

B&W Illustrated novel

SRP:  Php210.00

Language:  English, peppered with Ilonggo and Tagalog.

The ground gives way. A ditch suddenly presents the gift of gravity. And I embrace it. I fall fast. Hard. I hit the dirt. Rather, it hits me. It twists my foot like a wet twig. I lie in the ditch: foot hurting and back aching. Too tired to get up, too messed up to try. So I stay down. And let it all sink in. All of it. Today, I am Raymund Galang. I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up. I close my eyes. I empty my head of all my thoughts. Until there is nothing left to think about.
