A fascinating collection of Yvette Tan's horror tales, ranging from the supernatural to the horrors humans inflict upon each other, Waking the Dead is its best when operating on retaining the unknown as the unknown, and the mystery as a mystery. My personal favourites were "Stella for Star" and "Kulog", though others were good and unique in their own ways.
A strong recommendation to anyone interested in Filipino horror and folklore, and shoutout to my buddy for gifting this copy to me.
