Overview

TRESE: Bloodlines Volume 2 is a dark urban fantasy anthology that explores the diverse methods the Trese family uses to combat the supernatural. The collection is divided into three distinct narratives: The Library of the Lost: Prof. Rick Trese embarks on a frantic race across the Philippine archipelago. To rescue Alexandra from a mystical limbo, he must recover three ancient grimoires guarded by a terrifying gauntlet of aswang, kapre, and renegade black monks. A Higher Decision of Instinct: In the heart of Manila's business district, a corporate office has become a literal living hell. Fr. Matthias Trese and the St. Gregory division discover a company where the ""tireless"" workforce is actually a legion of possessed souls. They must perform a mass exorcism before the demonic infection spreads beyond the office walls. Kundiman: A journey into the past reveals the transformation of young Carlos Trese. Before he was the feared Verdugo, he was a student of the blade. This story captures the trials and tragedies that forged him into the ultimate aswang hunter and earned him the legendary twin blades, Parusa and Sentensiya.

Author Information

BUDJETTE TAN supposedly grew up in a haunted house and was told to sleep early because there were aswang outside their bedroom window. These stories would later influence and inspire him to write the comic book TRESE, co-created with artist Kajo Baldisimo. He was a co-editor for Alamat Comics, The Lost Journal of Alejandro Pardo: Creatures and Beasts of Philippine Folklore and SOUND: A Comic Book Anthology (co-edited with Charis Locke, published by Difference Engine). He now works in Denmark as one of the Creative Leads in the LEGO Agency. KAJO BALDISIMO is the illustrator and co-creator of the award winning comic book/graphic novel TRESE. He studied at the Manila Science High School where he immediately realized that he is not a scientist but rather a very eager doodler of fun worlds and dark realms. He worked for local komiks publishers to maintain his addiction for books and worked in advertising to sustain his biological functions. He's a husband to a very understanding wife and a father to a kind son and twenty-one overly excited canines and six really feisty felines.
