Holy witches, my season is soon approaching!
Although we don’t have the quintessential autumn here in the Philippines – with the falling leaves and pumpkin spice – it is my season! Imagine…
it as a time when a Sirena can walk the flooded streets to help those in need. Let’s talk of the Manananngal who takes advantage of the early dusk to protect her women. Or a time for the Mambabarang to relay the whispered messages for the dead.
Woops, I went a little too into Filipino mythology there! But also imagine lights, lights, and more lights! Because Christmas has already begun here.
Goal: Read 10 Books
Verdict: Read 8 Books
Goal: Finish 50k on WIP
Verdict: Reached 25k!
In spite of what he is, Ghoul is a good boy.
For someone who eats the flesh of humans, getting into medical school might seem like a bad idea but Ghoul’s only goal in life is to excel in his studies to get into a good medical college, so he can finally cure his “condition.”
The demon on his shoulder, though, is not very pleased.
But things go crazy when Ghoul comes across a murder; when both victim and survivor gets attached to him. The demon on his shoulder is eager to make deals and own a child, because to him, everything is a game piece.
Even the bodies that begin to show up.
