Polluto: The Anti-Pop Culture Journal is the Spectrum award-winning literary magazine from Dog Horn Publishing. Working with such esteemed writers as Rhys Hughes, Jeff Vandermeer, Steve Redwood and (in later issues) Justina Robson and Michael Moorcock, editor Adam Lowe brings the strangest in countercultural production since The Sex Pistols took LSD. Inside this journal you may find: sex, drugs and webbed toes; a DIY guide to making absinthe; haunted hymens; Fellatio Nelson; euthanasia; the secrets of an international spy; alien toast; werewolf battered wives; and the importance of being churlish. So hold onto your balls and dive in!

Review
You remember Highlander, don t you? The ridiculously over-the-top films and the even worse television series? Well, Steve Redwood uses that idea as the basis of The Burden of Sin. The hero of his story is Vasily Foplamov, a quiet, overlooked immortal who is quite content to enjoy the benefits of immortality. Unfortunately McLoud, the hero of the films but here portrayed as a humourless Calvinist psycho, will not rest until he has destroyed him. If the original Highlander series had half the wit and verve of Redwood s story, then they would be cinematic classics instead of mere camp curiosities.
Keeping on the Celtic theme, Welsh Dadaist genius Rhys Hughes bad idea was to write a story about prog rock. Cracking Nuts With Jan Hammer has an obscure musician serving time in Hell, where the fate of prog musos is to prepare buffet meals for other musicians forever.
Zombies are the new vampires. A couple of different approaches to the walking dead are found in here. Adam Lowe s scientist protagonist in Zombie Love Song has locked himself in a lab with the zombie corpse of his beloved. She has given him a week to come up with a cure, otherwise she will consume him. One gets the impression that she is merely humouring him in this lyrical evocation of a changing world. MP Johnson s Ahlana Demona is much lighter in tone and pulpier in style, but none the worse for that. Peter is a social worker who is a zombie rights activist. He ends up embroiled with the beautiful Ahlana, who is a monster hunter on the trail of an evil werewolf. Ahlana also happens to be a pre-op transsexual, which adds spice and confusion to Peter s feelings for her.
Michael R. Colangelo s (only just) post-apocalyptic Love And Gasoline has two brothers cruising around in a car wondering what to do next. They ve made themselves a pretty gruesome weapon that fires lawn darts, but that ll only keep them safe for so long. Then sexual tension arrives with another young survivor. Nothing can remain static for long.
Three short Dave Migman stories are scattered through the pages, and there s also a weird Jeff VanderMeer interview that s worth a look. Deb Hoag s Meatloaf Of The Apocalypse is structurally all over the shop, but intrigues and entertains. Chet Gottfriend s Wagnerian bonkfest The Ragnarok Seduction is wonderfully loopy . . . the overall success rate is high.
--Jim Steel, Whispers of Wickedness
