Not only is there a mythical Carcossa-type city in the Philippines, its in typhoon-blighted Samar, of all places. This would be an amazing setting for a childrens dark fantasy story. “With cities, it is as with dreams: everything imaginable can be dreamed, but even the most unexpected dream is a rebus that conceals a desire or, its reverse, a fear. Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else.” - Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino
