Tabi Po messes with your head. It’s real horror, set in a cruel world that offers neither comfort nor explanation. Here, the human condition is dread. The masterstroke: it is inspired by the novels of Jose Rizal. In 19th century Philippines, a young man, awakens from a deep sleep with no memory of who or what he is, only a bottomless craving for human flesh. He is an aswang, our local ghoul that transforms itself into a black dog and eats people. When he devours his prey, his consciousness merges with the cosmos. His name is Elias, and he makes his way to the town of San Diego…It’s a weird and beautiful trip. - Jessica Zafra. TABI PO is now available in National Bookstore, Powerbooks, and Fully Booked for P275.00 (paperback edition, full color)jessicarulestheuniverse/2014/05/05/reading-year-2014-tabi-po-is-a-weird-and-beautiful-trip/
