House of Monstrous Women releases today.

It's a story of oppression, liberation, sacrifice, and hope that refuses to be extinguished.

I am beyond lucky to have written this story and even luckier to share it with all of you. From the bottom of my heart:

Thank you.
And they're all gorgeous!!!

This game was so real for this
Gaia from the Captain Planet game pointing to a crystal void and saying "Remember, there are still so many old white men who have to die, Planeteers."
Things have never felt more fucked. When the world tries to silence you, keep shouting.

UNITE. PROTEST. FIGHT. And don’t forget: VOTE VOTE VOTE.

Based on true events, THE VILLA, ONCE BELOVED is a contemporary gothic horror set in a cursed manor on a coconut plantation—and it’s coming this fall.

Thank you, @premeemohamed.com, for the kind words!

For all its beauty, no saints, no heroes, no angels inhabit this villa—only ghosts and secrets.
Manibo has crafted a pitch-perfect modern gothic, in which the personal is political and there is no such thing as the past: only facets of a dangerous and suffocating present.

Happy book birthday to HOUSE OF MONSTROUS WOMEN by @daphnefama.bsky.social! Gothic horror fans are in for such a treat—it’s full of Filipino history and folklore, a labyrinthine mansion, a dangerous game with sinister consequences, atmospheric prose, and SO MUCH MORE! 😈
The book cover for HOUSE OF MONSTROUS WOMEN. The title is in big bold letters surrounded by purple banyan trees and a girl in pink in the middle.
