Slip your arms into that long, black trench-coat, tug down the rim of your hat, and load up on the rock salt; it's time to hunt some Witch. But careful, stalwart hero, as the danger of the Evil Red lies ever close. Keep your eyes peeled for signs of communism in our midst; hold the line against all urges and sexual desires; ward yourself against all that is feminine and female, for their wily ways will bewitch you! Stay vigilant, Witch-slayer, for the Red is everywhere: witches, zombies, blood, violence, sadism, magic, Mars, women, socialism, communism, even consumerism. And while you're at it, set fire to those damn ruby slippers!

Polluto is the award-winning literary magazine from Dog Horn Publishing. Since 2008 we have been scouring the dark, twisted and just plain weird corners of the world for the kind of writing that we love.

Polluto has investigated aliens from Mars, enjoyed the apocalypse from its patio furniture, got a case of the clap from an old cassette tape, dressed entirely in red sparkles and acted like a tramp, fought cutlass wielding youths and a robot Abe Lincoln, had its passport stolen by an octopus and then fell asleep on the space journey home.

And what have we learnt? Well, when your magazine is compiled entirely by loose mental patients anything is possible. Except getting the editor to pick up the cheque.

Check out what's been happening in the world of Dog Horn and Polluto.
