Splatter Von Rainbow

by Nicholaus Patnaude

Tragorius, an armless gent living in the far-distant future, can’t seem to get a break. First homeless now working at an unfashionable lingerie store in Phantasy Mall under cruel management, Tragorius is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Yet his fortunes soon change: Tragorius falls in love with Bionica (a manikin) with whom he, after striking a deal with a perverse magician, travels through past lives. But the past lives aren’t exactly what they’d bargained for, especially with phantasmagoric goddesses like Hobgoblin Sue and Splatter von Rainbow following them around while bending the rules of time and space with goddess strength. Join Tragorius and Bionica through this mind-melting romp. You might just slip away into one of your own past lives in the process!

Reviews

[Janie · Rating 4 out of 5]

An unorthodox love story that bursts with each color of the rainbow, slipping from past to present tenses in every fantastical reconstruction imaginable. Transgressive, humorous and full of flamboyant mutants that gleefully defy the laws of reality, this is a polychromatic trip for your thirsty imagination.
