Ultraviolins is a collection of 14 short stories by Khavn, first published by the University of the Philippines Press in 2008 and subsequently by the University of Hawaii Press in 2009. It is his first book of fiction. On the book's cover, National Artist for Literature Bienvenido Lumbera cautions the reader to "Accept that the author in front of you is consciously being insane so you don't have to go looking for anything as boring as sanity."
