Mula sa Kilometer Zero (The Kilometer Zero Trilogy, #1)

""Mula sa Kilometer Zero" makes Josue Mapagdalita a master of short fiction. He does not waste time or space; each story packs a punch and leaves readers with burning questions: How do we move forward? Is it possible to experience love for a fleeting moment? What painful memories are we willing to relive lest we forget who we are?

"Josue's genius shines in this book, which will surely take readers to a place where they can be themselves, however vulnerable, even for just a little while."

— Cris Santos, author of "The Lolita Chronicles: Beauty and the Beastmode"

"Josue Mapagdalita’s "Mula sa Kilometer Zero" is truly a treasure. This collection of short stories felt like a warm embrace, providing both comfort and insight. The tales explore a wide range of emotions, from heartbreak to hope, while delving into profound questions about life and legacy. Josue's storytelling is nothing short of brilliant, with narratives that possess a cinematic quality. It wouldn't be surprising if his stories transcend the written word to grace screens and inspire songs. These narratives deserve to be brought to life in every conceivable form. "Mula sa Kilometer Zero" is a must-read, and I eagerly anticipate more of Josue's work."

— September Stardust, author of "All the Broken Bloom"
