Synopsis

Adventure in the monstrous and fantastical world of Philippine mythology!<br /><br />From award-winning authors Budgette Tan and David Hontiveros comes The Lost Journal of Alejandro Pardo, a 19th-century cryptozoologist's account of his encounters with the strange. Perfect for fans of Netflix's Trese and other rich fantasy worlds, it leans heavily on legends and creatures from Filipino folklore. The book is enriched by full-color illustrations from three different illustrators, making it a true visual delight.<br /><br />You'll come face-to-face with beasts that include:

• The Kapre―A shape-shifter that can morph before your eyes, disguising itself as what you thought was your dog or your mom.
• The Mangalok ―This angel-faced creature is the most deceptive of predators, feasting on human innards.
• The Pugot―This headless beast is aptly described as a "living, breathing volcano."
• And many more!

Pardo describes 36 fantastical animals in total, highlighting his encyclopedic knowledge of the unique creatures found in all parts of the Philippines (which is undeniable, even if he is a bit of a lout). Pardo's lost journal is full of eye-witness details of his exciting travels in search of mythical beings. Don't miss out on his extraordinary adventures!
