by Frank Lynch, Gilda Cordero-Fernando (Illustrator) Brand New Old Stocks Date Published: 1998 31 pages Filipino kids now know all about Dracula and Frankenstein. When we were small the housemaids would whisper into our ears blood-curdling stories about the aswang. The flying kind was a night creature who divided at the waist. The upper part sprouted wings and took to the sky. Soon enough our parents banned the stories from our homes. When we grew old enough to tackle them the aswangs were gone from our lives. They were very sketchy in children's literature. For by then we had already imported monsters of other cultures to be terrified of--the witch in Snow White, Dracula, T-Rex, and their plastic counterparts. "The Aswang Inquiry" answers everything you would like to know about our very own half-human creature. The book is a retelling of the researches of two respected anthropologists--Frank X. Lynch, SJ, and Richard Arend, SVD.
