What does a Mananangal (Viscera Sucker) in Riyadh, A Mambabarang (Witch) in Dubai, and an Oryol (Water Nymph) in Hong Kong have in common? In this collection of short stories, they are all Filipino migrant workers struggling to survive the challenges of the OFW experience. These are stories of love and resilience. Of enduring against the monstrosity of abuse, assault, isolation, and fractured family dynamics. A speculative exploration that answers the question; What would happen if mythic Philippine supernatural creatures were forced confront the horrors of the OFW life?

Jet Tagasa is a former OFW and broadcast media professional. She lived and worked in Hong Kong and Dubai for over two decades, from 1996 to 2018. In 2019, she settled back in Manila, alongside her husband and two cats. When she's not weaving spine-chilling stories, Jet unleashes her creative energy as an events creative in Manila, Philippines. Her inaugural literary venture, The Secret Lives of OFWs, opens a new chapter in her storytelling journey.
