THESE STORIES ARE filled with heart, thrill, and tons of cheeky irreverent humor with a really strong sense of intimacy. Yvette Tan is such a smart, nuanced writer. Always very personal in spite of the fantastical stories. To diminish this book as just another collection of horror short stories is to strip this of what makes it a must-read. Yes, here are the requisite ghouls, demons and monsters. But beyond the supernatural elements, at the heart of this is its humanity. Lots of irony, charm, wit, and black humor, with a healthy dose of acabre and gore that every horror fan will look for. –Erik Matti, Filmmaker *** Yvette Tan, one of the Philippines’ most celebrated horror writers, returns with her second short story collection. Two friends adapt in a zombie-infested Angeles City. At Luneta Park, a girl and a young tikbalang begin their journey to save the last moon. A brothel in Poblacion offers an expecting father pleasures he cannot resist. And in the titular story, an American unwittingly purchases a mail-order bride from the mystical island of Siquijor. From stories of youthful charm with supernatural twists, to provocative tales of unassuming humans willingly falling prey to creatures with manicured talons, Seek Ye Whore and Other Stories forms a panoramic view of the Filipino experience—sometimes humorous and touching, oftentimes dark and forbidding.
