Gigantvm Penisivm: A Tale of Demonic Possession

From award-winning author, Jose Elvin Bueno, comes a Filipino horror shrouded by an unspeakable presence that is intent on slashing through the divides between influencer and the influenced.

THE GAME is called The Summoning. "We say a prayer to the Dark Lord. Then He, in His infinite malevolence, sends an evil spirit to visit us. And hopefully, hilarity will ensue."

THE PLAYERS are the young and the beautiful looking for a kick this Friday night. Rafa, a corporate professional/loyal wingman. Basti, a financial wizard/unrivaled scenester. Vicente, a video gamer/early adopter. Pia, a fashion model/revered influencer. Mitzi, a free spirit/porn star.

THE STAKES are their very own perfectly Instagrammable lives. One by one, they realize that someone malevolent is indeed summoned, singularly focused on killing all of them.

WHO WILL LIVE TO TELL THE TALE?

A24's Bodies, Bodies, Bodies meets Talk To Me in these pages full of drugs and blood that summon Gigantvm Penisivm: A Tale of Demonic Possession.
