Bamboo Demons — Jory Sherman
ASWANG
Out of the strange folklore and exotic taboos, from deep within the steamy jungles of the Philippines, emerges a strange creature, part-myth, part-truth -- half-man, half-beast. Its metamorphosis, from human to vicious dog, takes place in the shadows of the tiny villages where the people hang their doorways with garlic and carry crucifixes…and hope that the Aswang, for that is what it is called, is but a figment of their imagination…
When a beautiful young girl is savagely raped and partially eaten, Chill is flown in to launch an incredible demon hunt that takes him from the sordid Lico district of Manila to the deserted caves of Corregidor, and leads to a hotbed of revolutionary guerillas who summon up powers, both political and occult. In a final confrontation against incredible odds, Chill fights for his life -- with the deadliest Aswang of all.
Dr. Russell (Chill) Childers, a remarkable psychic investigator, whose talents are respected the world over, is called upon to solve crimes dealing with the occult, the psychic, and the supernatural. Serving as his right-hand woman is Laura Littlefawn, his psychic sidekick. Chill, whose personal eccentricities include vegetarianism, dislikes killing for sport, but he had a mighty respect for a gun, and never hesitates to use it.
