FICTION
IN THE BLOOD AND OTHER STORIES (2024)
In this debut collection, Joseph Anthony Montecillo compiles fourteen horrific tales from over a decade of writing.
In the titular story, “In the Blood,” a mother struggles to ensure that her sons don’t inherit their late father’s violent tendencies. In “Pressure and Release,” a bus driver gives into his most self-destructive impulses while caught in an EDSA traffic jam. A child’s curiosity about his brother’s internal workings goes to the extreme in “New Toy.” And in “The Forgotten Bones,” a man living in the slums of a cemetery finds himself trapped in a labyrinth of tombs.
In the Blood and Other Stories’ mix of horror, psychological thrills, dark fantasy, and sci-fi is sure to terrify and delight in equal measure.
It’s available now for all Philippine residents via UP Press’ brick and mortar stores as well as their official website, and also on Shopee and Lazada.
