The Last House in Barangay Balete

The Last House in Barangay Balete
By Kuruu
After her grandmother’s death, Mara returns to the forgotten family house at the edge of Barangay Balete—a place surrounded by an ancient balete tree and haunted by warnings she once dismissed as superstition.
But when midnight comes, the dogs fall silent, strange voices call her name, and something begins moving beneath the tree’s roots.
Mara soon discovers a terrifying family secret: her grandmother was not protecting them from the creatures of Filipino folklore.
She was protecting the creatures from them.
Now an ancient presence has awakened, and it knows Mara’s name.
As the line between the living and the dead begins to disappear, Mara must uncover the truth about her family before the thing beneath the balete erases her—not only from the world, but from everyone’s memory.
Some houses are abandoned.
Some houses are haunted.
And some houses are waiting for you to come home.
