Blood
Blood Collected Stories Winner of the 2016 Indie Book Awards (Short Stories) Noelle Q. de Jesus’ collection of short stories is a striking debut of cultural exchanges and foreign tongues: stories that trace and sustain the conflict between man and woman, parent and child, country and identity, self and sexuality, love and loss.

Batacan, Author of Smaller and Smaller Circles

It was a place where the values of fairness and freedom often fell short w...
