From the author of the Twisted series comes a collection of 27 stories from the last 27
years. The Collected Stories of Jessica Zafra contains award-winning fiction from
Manananggal Terrorizes Manila (1992) and The Stories So Far (2014), plus new stories
and an introduction by Don Jaucian.

“Jessica is a natural short story writer, and I don’t know anyone else in the Philippines
writing in English who does it as well as she does. The fact that she’s a Filipina couldn’t
matter less. She would be recognised anywhere on earth that good English is read. But
of course in this fatuous world the unmerited hegemony of “English” literature (including
of course American, Canadian, Australian, etc. etc.) reminds us that it still fancies itself
as the arbiter of the Real Thing. But plenty of us round-eyes know that’s baloney, and
JZ provides us with ammunition to stand up in public and say so.” – James Hamilton-
Paterson, Whitbread Award-winning author of Gerontius, Playing With Water, Seven-
Tenths, Ghosts of Manila, and the bestselling Cooking With Fernet Branca and Empire

The Collected Stories of Jessica Zafra is published by Ateneo University Press. SRP
