Eleven tales of Philippine folk-horrorBy Ivory F. Wild

About this audiobook
THE RIVER
The boatman has never once been late, and he never hurries. Eleven miles to the other side, he tells you. Eleven souls to pay the toll.
Across the black water, the fog opens onto eleven ordinary lives — a father who brings home more than he bargained for, a widow who finds a drying pond too full of fish, a logging crew that hears something laughing in the trees, a husband who keeps setting two places at the table. Each one reached for something they were owed, and found that the old, hungry things of the Philippine dark keep better accounts than the living do.
Every story ends with one more object dropped into the bottom of the boat. Every mile, the boatman is watching to see what you do with what you're shown.
The River is the first crossing of the Tabi-Tabi trilogy: eleven tales of Philippine folk-horror, told by a guide who has never once lost a passenger — and never once let one leave untouched.
