{"product_id":"2940152082210","title":"Dark Creature Series: Flight of the Aswang","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe “Dark Creatures Series: Flight of the Aswang” features two novelettes about the aswang and its struggles in a modern, more complicated world. The sound of “tiktik” in a rural town in the Philippines after dark would be enough to strike fear in the hearts of those who believe in the aswang, often pictured as a vile creature who hungers for human blood. Among the creatures of local mythology, it is the most feared for its habit of stalking its prey as a seemingly normal person by day, and ultimately hunting him or her after dark after assuming its dark persona.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts ability to co-exist among the living during the day was probably one of the reasons why the fear of the aswang persists. Unlike the vampire, the aswang - in its human form - can and will live among normal folk during the day without fear of dying under the hot, blazing sun. Moreover, the aswang has been described as a shape shifter, imbued with an ability to transform into various types of animals such as dogs, pigs, and bats, with only its red, glaring eyes revealing its true nature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louella Mendoza","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172292215024,"sku":"2940152082210","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940152082210_p0.jpg?v=1764018284","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940152082210","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
