Ghosts, monsters, the hearts of men – welcome to their underworld. A land covered by the umbra of gothic darkness, populated by the tragically hip, dancing to a brutal soundtrack. Damaged People: Tales of the Gothic-Punk collects the short stories that garnered De Mesa a cult following. Written in a cross between the fury of a heat wave and cold sincerity, this book gathers Manila’s wretched, fragile, dead and damaged into one incandescent book. This enhanced version contains the original soundtracks ""Isabel, the Damaged"" by The Late Isabel and ""Heartbeat"" by Names are for Tombstones to create a unique sensory experience.
