Caleb is suffering from schizoaffective disorder, and Paul, who is about to start on his first office job in a long while, wants to make sure his brother takes his medication on time. Lillian, at first hesitant, accepts the job for the pay and the perks, but soon starts to wonder about the brothers she is working for.

94 pages
SRP: P140.00

Welcome to The Diabolical! My name is Hank. I’ll be your bartender for tonight. What will it be? Don’t tell me. I know exactly what you want to drink.

So what’s on your mind? You have a story to tell? You’ve come to the right place. I’ve got some interesting stories as well.

Have you heard the one about the ghost who walked in the bar? The one who kept coming back, waiting for the arrival of that certain someone?

What about the guy who had coffee with his dead girlfriend? Or the story of the spectral Christmas carolers?

And then there’s that strange tale of all those senior citizens who watched the last full show and never came out.

No? Haven’t heard those? Well, have another drink and I’ll tell you all about it.

*FYI, this is not Trese 6 :)

New release: "Dumot" & "Trese 4"

DUMOT
Author: Alan Navarra
ISBN:  971-05450-6-X
B and W illustrated novel
SRP: P200.00

I hate it.  Like the last kiss from a scorned one-nighter. Like the walls of inch-thick dirt that have been there for 14 years.  Redundant conversations in a basement that echo for months on end.  A staircase with old, stinky wood.  Prime time kabobohan.  4-day old socks  Reflective surfaces in moments of discomfort.  Blood in all the wrong places.  A painful gut.  And just like the pain of process-oriented frustration, I hate it.

WARNING:  Explicit Language

foreword by Angelo Suarez
