Jason Tanamor – Vampires of Portlandia

Jason Tanamor – Vampires of Portlandia

"Tanamor’s Vampires of Portlandia is an entertaining vampire thriller with all the recognizable hallmarks of the supernatural genre, but two things distinguish this book from others: its focus on the aswang, a creature based on the author’s research on Philippine folklore combined with his own inventions, and the book’s beating heart, the family of aswang fleeing state violence in the Philippines and seeking refuge in the sanctuary city of Portland, Oregon. As a page-turner full of gory action, it also manages to be a touching story about family, love, and legacy." – Grace Talusan, author of The Body Papers"Here’s a novel from Jason Tanamor that rocks Filipino folklore, shape shifters, vampires, and quick moving, tricksy, balls-out adventure, and it’s a helluva lot of fun." – John Shirley, author of Black Butterflies: A Flock on the Dark Side "There are moments of storytelling that stand out… Those who enjoy the ‘Twilight’ books or TV series ‘Grimm’ may find this entertaining. Portland enthusiasts will also appreciate the references." – Library Journal"…creative world building of Portland’s supernatural underworld…the most devoted vampire enthusiasts will find this rewarding." – Publishers Weekly When Marcella Leones relocates her family of aswang vampires from the Philippines to Portland, Oregon, she raises her grandchildren under strict rules so humans will not expose them. Her only wish is to give them a peaceful life, far away from the hunters and the Filipino government that attempted to exterminate them. Before she dies, she passes on the power to her eldest grandchild, Percival. He vows to uphold the rules set forth by Leones, allowing his family to roam freely without notice. After all, they are aswangs. However, when the aswang covenant is broken, the murder rate in Portland rises drastically. Who is behind the murders? And who is behind the broken covenant? Along with sensie Penelope Jane, Percival must find the truth. It’s then they discover that there are other breeds of aswangs-werebeasts, witches, ghouls, and viscera–who have been residing in Portland for years. Based on Filipino folklore (aswang), "Vampires of Portlandia" is a fantastical tale of different monsters coexisting in the weirdest city in America. RIYL Twilight Saga, the television show "Grimm", and "The Lost Boys".
