I am curious if her Filipino works are good. Haven't researched it yet but this short stories are just alright, I guess.

The best one for me is All the Birds due to the ambiguity. The titular story Seek Ye Whore is the second one.

Regrettably, I don't think I'm gonna remember any of the stories in the long run but her description on the gorey parts are pretty decent.

The demonology summoning bit was funny and I thoroughly enjoyed the folk horror in these stories. Made me feel a tad nostalgic for all the folk horror tales my grandmother used to tell me before bed when I was a kid.
