Tricks, treats, and terrifyingly good reads.

Our Halloween collection is ready to haunt your nightstand.

This Halloween, we’ve gathered our favorite spooky reads — from dark fantasies to thrillers that will keep you turning pages long past midnight.

Halloween Pick 1: Cigarette Girl by Ratih Kumala

-The night hums in shades of smoke and velvet. Every flick of her lighter is a promise, every drag a spell. She doesn’t chase the spotlight — it finds her, drawn to the danger wrapped in satin and scent. 🔥

Halloween Pick 2: May Tiktik sa Bubong, May Sigbin sa Silong: Antolohiya by Allan Derain

-Between those lines, Allan Derain resurrects the forgotten corners of Filipino folklore — the sound of wings scraping the night, the hush beneath the house where something breathes, waiting. These are not just monsters; they are metaphors for the fears we inherit, the myths we carry in our blood.

Halloween Pick 3: Ang Kapangyarihang Higit Sa Ating Lahat by Ronaldo Vivo Jr.

-In Ronaldo Vivo Jr.’s Ang Kapangyarihang Higit Sa Ating Lahat, horror takes the shape of faith — immense, unseen, and absolute. It’s not the scream that lingers, but the silence that follows it. A title that hums like a warning, or a prayer half-forgotten.


Halloween isn’t just about costumes and candy — it’s about stories that linger, the kind that stay with you long after the night fades. Come find yours. 🌙✨

P.S. And when you need a pause between worlds, let Kape Lunan brew you something warm and grounding — a potion of comfort in a season of chills. ☕

Weekend plans?

Just me, a latte, and a bookshop kinda weekend.

Weekends are made for rest, a good read, good coffee, and maybe a quiet wander through a bookshop. 📚☕

Today’s picks: stories to slow down with. 📖☕

📖 Featured pick: But For The Lovers by Wilfrido D. Nolledo (Exploding Galaxies)

-In But For The Lovers, Wilfrido Nolledo paints Manila in poetry, a haunting tapestry of love and survival amid war. A novel that lingers long after the last page. A Filipino classic worth rediscovering.

📖 Featured pick: Long Distance Call by Sheree Domingo (Vibal)

-This book captures the delicate bonds that stretch across oceans. A heartfelt graphic novel about love, longing, and belonging— a moving collection that bridges art, emotion, and diaspora in every page.

📖 Our Halloween pick: Bayan ng Bangkay by Chuckberry J. Pascual (U.P. Press)

-This Halloween, visit a town unlike any other. Dark, daring, and hauntingly human. The author weaves the macabre with sharp social insight and this book reminds us that horror can be heartbreak in disguise, a must-read this Halloween.

Every book carries a touch of love — and a whisper of haunting. Discover both in our shelves this season.

ALULONG, is the title of both contemporary artist 's latest graphic novel and his soon to open exhibition at Parola’s Gallery One. This exhibition, being Tapaya’s reaction to the world-making and storytelling of this graphic novel, stands as an exploration of the different dimensions that tales may live in—contained within the four corners of a canvas, hardbound pages, and now an exhibition space.

Gaze upon the intricately illustrated spreads that detail Chi-Chi the dog’s daunting quest through Sitio Looban and walk amidst the likeness of his friends and perhaps…even his foes.

Be among the first to step into the deconstructed/reconstructed and re-imagined world of ALULONG by attending the opening reception starting at 5:00 PM on October 1!

OPENING RECEPTION:
🗓️ October 1, 2025 (Wednesday)
⏰ 5:00 PM
📍 Gallery One, (Parola), Arts and Design West Hall, UP Diliman, College of Fine Arts
🎟️ Free and open to the public
