The tikbalang, aswang, call center agents turned crime busters and other mythological and fictional characters will make their appearance this week at the world’s oldest and largest book fair in Frankfurt, Germany.

The Philippine booth at the Frankfurter Buchmesse will showcase from Oct. 20 to Oct. 24 around 100 diverse titles by Filipino authors and creatives. Its exhibition, anchored on the theme “Myth, Magic and the City: Reclaiming Our Narrative,” will display different genres, like young adult fiction, children’s books, cookbooks, climate literature and graphic novels.

The Philippines’ trade show booth, which will house the titles, also incorporates this concept of diversity. Team Manila designed the stand that features a long mural with distinct Filipino elements. The Philippine contingent will also be dropping a nonfungible token graphic story titled “The Last Moon.” The story is a “sequel, not a retelling” of the Bakunawa , set in the modern age, according to horror writer Yvette Tan.

Children’s books like “Kung Linggo ,” written by National Artist for Literature Virgilio Almario and illustrated by Abi Goy, and “Ginto’t Pilak,” the story of Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz, will also be on display.
