Alfonso Casas's MonsterMind is a very personal account of the inner monsters that live inside his head. But who doesn't have a monster inside them? Who has never heard that voice inside their head undermining everything they do? You're not good enough?You just got really lucky?There are people far better and more qualified than you? In a very honest exercise, Alfonso Casas identifies and introduces his own monsters to his readers: Mr. Past Traumas, Mr. Fear, Mr. Social Anxiety, Mr. Impostor Syndrome, Mr. Sadness, Mr. Doubt?the pessimistic, the insecure, the self-demanding, the monster that keeps you from sleeping while you think of what you could have said back in that conversation two years ago, or that keeps you looking over the punctuation of every text message to figure out the tone lurking beneath the surface. All those monsters make up the bestiary of contemporary society. But the anxiety generation is expert in more things: in looking inside themselves and their lives, and--why not?--in laughing at their own neuroses as best they can. In the end, if the monsters won't leave us, we might as well get to know them and laugh at them! Anxiety is another pandemic, but the monsters dwelling inside us are funny, too (especially as drawn by Alfonso Casas). BONUS: Includes a discussion guide to help readers further discuss anxiety and find ways to deal with it.

ABLAZE ARTIST SPOTLIGHT MANIX ABRERAS BANDED SET

ABLAZE is proud to present two outstanding graphic novels by acclaimed Filipino cartoonist and three-time National Book Awardee Manix Abrera. With his 'silent' storytelling, dependent on illustration to direct story and movement, Abrera truly demonstrates the heart and soul of the comics medium. This bundled set comes to you at a special price. In '12,' Abrera tells twelve genuinely touching stories, each story with its own charm and intriguing twists - a young man spends his entire life searching for answers but shock awaits when he finally gets that eureka moment; someone finds love that unexpectedly finds somebody else; two men argue over who goes first on an escalator; a mother and daughter fight over a cockroach; a drunk man urinates on a tree and gets a big surprise - making you wonder how these mundane plots can turn out so bizarrely, prompting you to reflect and crave for more! In '14,' a man who mysteriously discovers a 13th floor in his building and finds himself in the middle of a storytelling session among different mythological creatures of Philippine folklore. Together with a partying crowd of supernatural beings, he listens to stories narrated by creatures such as the Manananggal, Diwata, Tikbalang, Kapre, Tiyanak, and even by a White Lady and a Doppelganger.

ABLAZE is shining the spotlight on the wide variety of genres and fantastic works within our catalogue! Our Spotlight on Fables includes three comic titles - Wild Thing, Animal Castle Vol. 1, A Man's Skin - bundled together under a specially discounted price. In Wild Thing: One night, Silver meets a trio of hungry wolves. Attracted by their unhindered life-as enticing as it is dangerous-he decides to follow them, and learns to live the wild life with the pack, which is rough and exhilarating at the same time. Along the way he discovers love, and the ravages of human civilization that are reducing the living space of animals, threatening their very existence. In Animal Castle: Nestled in the heart of a farm forgotten by men, the Animal Castle is ruled with an iron hoof by President Silvio. The bull and its dog militia savor their power, while the other animals are exhausted by work, until the arrival of the mysterious Azelar, a traveling rat who will teach them the secrets of civil disobedience. In A Man's Skin: Bianca, a young woman in Renaissance Italy, is engaged via her parents' wishes to Giovanni, a young man from a prosperous merchant family. While he is young and seems pleasant, Bianca can't hide her disappointment in having to marry a man she knows nothing about. However, before the wedding she is bequeathed a family heirloom: A Man's Skin. Donning the skin, Bianca becomes 'Lorenzo,' afforded all the benefits of being a young man in the world, including the opportunity to get to know Giovanni.
