REPORT FROM THE ABYSS

Author:  Karl R. De Mesa

Cover and Illustrations by:  Tom Estrella III

ISBN:  971-05452-1-3

Creative Non-fiction

SRP:  Php200.00

Language:  English

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.
