Night of the Split

When the old blood wakes, the shadows grow wings.

In the slums of Manila, five bodies are found gutted and bloodless-ripped open with surgical precision. The police blame gang violence. Elena Navarro, a disgraced investigative journalist, knows better. Her only lead: a cryptic email warning of "winged shadows" and a photo of a bloodied sandal abandoned in a dark alley. What begins as a desperate grab for career redemption turns into a descent into ancestral horror as Elena uncovers a cursed bloodline, an ancient pact, and a hunger that splits the soul.

In a city where myth and modernity bleed together, Elena finds herself hunted not just by monsters, but by the truth buried in her own blood. The deeper she digs, the more her body betrays her-aching ribs, fever dreams, and a hunger she doesn't understand. From forgotten alleyways to a haunted market and the memories her family tried to bury, the truth is unavoidable:

The curse hasn't died. It's evolving.

Perfect for fans of folkloric horror, urban dread, and journalistic thrillers, Night of the Split is a visceral, atmospheric tale steeped in Filipino myth-where women inherit silence, monsters wear familiar faces, and the ground never forgets.
