The storms came first. Then the screams. Then... silence.

When Pinatubo erupted and Typhoon Yunya struck, the living thought they’d seen the worst. But in the Philippines, monsters don’t hide under beds— they wait in the banyan trees, call from the waves, and knock three times on your soul.

Once Upon a Time in the Philippines delivers ten relentless tales of supernatural folklore, cosmic dread, and twisted justice. Each story stands alone, yet threads into a chilling tapestry where myth bleeds into reality.

For readers who crave sleepless nights, shivers down the spine, and folklore sharpened into a weapon. If you love The Medium or Things We Lost in the Fire, this belongs on your shelf of nightmares.

Read it tonight. Just... don’t answer the third knock.
