Launching Our Filipino Horror Audiobook Channel on YouTube
Calico Tales Publishing LLC - YouTube
Calico Tales Publishing LLC just opened a brand-new YouTube channel dedicated to Filipino horror audiobooks. The first release runs a little over an hour—ideal for cooking dinner, winding down before sleep, or sneaking a story during a commute. Every week, a new audiobook drops, so you can make it part of your routine.
Why YouTube, why now
I’ve spent months building Calico Tales to bring modern, Filipino-rooted horror straight to you—free to stream, easy to share, and one click away on any device. YouTube lets us reach both Filipinos at home and the global diaspora without paywalls or apps. It also gives the community real power: your likes, comments, and shares directly influence how many people discover these stories.
The first audiobook: a one-hour descent into debt, family, and fate
Our debut tale draws from the lakeside towns of Batangas and the old stories you hear in markets, along docks, and by church steps. Expect a debt that refuses to stay buried, and a lake that never forgets. It’s the kind of story that tightens its grip scene by scene, right through the final minutes—no filler, just a focused, novel-quality narrative built for a single sitting.
Weekly releases you can schedule your week around
New full-length audiobooks arrive each week. Subscribe once and you’ll never miss a drop. If you enjoy bingeing, let a few stack up; if you like ritual, press play the same day every week. Either way, you’ll always have a fresh Filipino horror story queued up.
Perfect for ordinary moments
• Cooking or meal prep
• Evening wind-downs before sleep
• Commuting or long rides
• Quiet weekend resets
Each story is crafted to deliver a complete beginning-to-end experience in just over an hour—long enough to feel immersive, short enough to finish in one go.
From my recent trip to the Philippines
This channel was forged on the road: talking with vendors in Batangas, riding past fish corrals on Taal Lake, and walking through old churches whose bells carry across the water. That time reminded me why these stories matter—because they live in real places, spoken by real people, and handed down like heirlooms. Bringing them to YouTube is my way of carrying those heirlooms forward.
Why your likes, shares, and subscriptions matter
YouTube recommends content based on signals. When you like a video, comment, or share it with a friend, you’re telling the platform the story is worth spreading—especially to viewers who watch Filipino content, horror fiction, or audiobooks. Subscribing ensures you see the next release; commenting teaches the algorithm who else should see it; sharing pulls your own circle into the world we’re building.
If you believe Filipino stories deserve a bigger stage, a quick tap on like and subscribe is one of the easiest, most effective ways to help.
