Twenty-six unique stories that stretch the meaning of 'eclectic',
bound together in one forbidden tome for the first time. Covering
most genres, and moving from grim, cruel, and tragic: broken women
living on shelves in a library, a Greek goddess and the monster she
created meeting in a final showdown, an alien trapped in Patagonia
nurturing itself on sickness and religious gullibility to survive
and an exiled Martian fixated on Dana Scully. All this, with a few
devils, saints, cloned messiahs, witches, and well-educated zombies
thrown in for good measure. 'Bubbles of darkness trapped in fluid
humour, like hashish suspended in golden wine, a heady and often
disturbing brew.' -Rhys Hughes

"Polluto" returns with a wry look at fairytales, gonzo journalism,
sexuality, weird places and ever queerer individuals. It includes
contributions from Rhys Hughes, Steve Redwood, Deb Hoag, D.W.
Green, Alex MacFarlane, Jim Steel, Lawrence R. Dagstine, Andrew
Hook & Allen Ashley, Mark Howard Jones and Frank Burton.
Diseased white rabbits, Black Power munchkins, pill-popping
schizophrenics, steampunk whores, transsexual Ozmas and scorpion
rapists all get the usual ironic and twisted 'Polluto' treatment,
with artwork from Ignacio Candel, Flavia Testa-Lytle, Chris Oaten
and Dave Migman.
Inside the third installment of "Polluto", the Spectrum Fantastic
Arts Award-winning magazine that subverts popular culture, find a
plethora of disturbing, kinky and downright bizarre stories, poems
and columns from some of the most incisive minds in the
contemporary creative world. It features columns by Micci Oaten of
"Paparazzi Whore" and Hobo Poets' "RC Edrington", and fiction from
Rhys Hughes, Steve Redwood, Deb Hoag, Marshall Payne and Robert
Lamb. In this installment, porn, snuff, apocalypses,
utilitarianism, the necessity to reproduce, rape, Jack the Ripper,
technological obsolence and revenge are all tackled with
unflinching verve and the usual dark humour you've come to expect.
