A Bucket Helmet and the Paper Gun War

New Edition

Masbate, 1982. The oppressive summer heat matches the town’s simmering restlessness, its once bucolic life occasionally shattered by gang rumbles, political violence and rebel skirmishes. Martial Law has officially ended, but beneath the surface, fear is taking root.

The brutal death of a beautiful seventeen-year-old girl rocks the close-knit community. Soon after, terrifying sightings emerge—whispers of a winged, blood-draining entity hunting in the shadows of Holy Week.

Caught in the middle is a struggling family looking for a fresh start, alongside a band of curious neighborhood boys and an injured rookie cop piecing together a string of forgotten deaths. To survive the summer, they must separate local myth from human malice before another life is claimed.
