Night of the Manananggal

A bloodless corpse. A forgotten curse. A city haunted by winged shadows.

When disgraced American journalist Miguel Ferrer stumbles onto a mutilated body in the heart of Manila's slums, he thinks it's just another brutal gang killing-until he notices the surgical precision, the complete lack of blood... and the whisper of wings overhead. As more victims surface-hollowed out from within-Miguel uncovers a chilling thread that leads back to ancient folklore and one cursed bloodline.

Isabel Santos, a reserved university librarian, hides a terrible truth: her family's legacy is steeped in myth, fear, and an unspeakable hunger. With strange marks appearing on her body and a primal hunger stirring inside, Isabel and Miguel are thrust into a deadly race to uncover the truth behind the Manananggal-a legendary, self-segmenting predator that preys on the innocent from the skies.

But this isn't just a legend. The creature is real. It's hunting again. And Isabel might be next... or worse-its heir.

A supernatural thriller steeped in Filipino folklore, "The Night of the Manananggal" blends investigative noir with psychological horror, exploring inherited evil, cultural trauma, and the monstrous within.
