Creatures of the Mountain and the Water

Three creatures. Three territories. One rule: show respect, or belong to them forever.

Paul, Angel, and Zach explore the terrifying world of Filipino folklore — from the backward-legged tikbalang that stalks Mt. Makiling, to the pale water spirit that waits beneath the Enchanted River, to the ancient nuno sa punso that claims a family's land in Pampanga. Each story is a warning: the Philippines is older than you think, and the things that live there have been watching longer than you know.
