In Tales for a Rainy Season, Wincy Aquino Ong brings a distinctly Filipino take on horror, where the stories hit like an incoming storm. Set across Manila, this collection of eleven stories introduces strange encounters, new monsters, and moments where reality starts to slip.
A mer-woman terrorizes a family during a typhoon. Mysterious canisters fall from the sky. An ex-convict discovers the power of consecrated clay. A socialite is taken by a buffalo-faced vigilante. A fantaserye actress disappears into a forest that shouldn’t exist.
And in one story, Sherlock Holmes meets José Rizal.
This edition features a new cover by CJ de Silva-Ong and includes an additional story.
Evocative, unsettling, and rooted in place, this is horror built on atmosphere, memory, and the feeling that something is always just outside your window.

Powerful storytelling with beautiful art. Very happy with the work of Ebony Soy and the delivery by Hot Tropiks. Also loved the additional content in the Hot Tropiks release!
I love the quality of the graphics and the material for the t-shirt! You know it's not going to rip or fade!! My request is to bring back the Hard Mode T-Shirt! Missed the opportunity to get one!!! Thank you!
Above and beyond all expectations. Read it all in one sitting and couldn't put it down. Highly recommend! Plus there's a very fun bonus at the back of the book.
Thanks for bringing this product design to the US :)
A+++ customer service!
I super love the story!
My second time purchasing. Its a great book.
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.
Perfect gift for my chef nephew! So much cool stuff in general in the shop. Fast easy shipping too.
Excellent quality and very fast delivery.

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