Discover a spine-tingling collection of Filipino folklore with Cautionary Tales from a Filipino Childhood by Bambi Eloriaga-Amago, brought to life through the haunting illustrations of Roland Amago. This book delves into the world of Filipino mythology, where stories of supernatural creatures and eerie events have been passed down for generations. With tales like dancing crosses that repel the manananggal and spine-chilling excursions on Good Friday, this collection reimagines the legendary narratives shared by Filipino elders to entertain and teach.

Perfect for horror and supernatural enthusiasts aged 13 and up, this paperback edition from KOMIKET Inc. is beautifully crafted in full color, making each page as visually captivating as it is thrilling.

An amazing story for everyone

I absolutely loved the story of the first generation child of an immigrant family. It was rather enlightening as the author truly shows how immigrants are an integral part in society. Always have. Always will be.

Thanks Mr. Ocampo for this amazing survey, I read it almost all in one sitting--spooky, interesting, scary, and thought-provoking. A great read!

Very good story pero a bit short

Very good story pero a bit short. Could have benefited from a bit more backstory on the husband's motivations as well as following some of his actions.

The perfect gift

Got this for a coworker who keeps talking about supot and this is it. It's her favorite work tote and I'm all here for it. I even got one for myself but in black.

If you say it wrong it means something else, but let's not go there...

The book arrived on time and without any problems. The book came with the original plastic wrapping and was extra wrapped with bubble wrap for protection during shipping. I got frequent email updates about my order which was helpful. The book itself is wonderful and I’m glad I ordered it through Hot Tropiks and supported a small business.
