Welcome to Polluto Magazine

Polluto has donned its frilliest frock, slapped on the make-up and stepped into a pair of heeled ruby slippers to fight terrorist munchkins on the road to Oz. Grab your baseball bat and join the fray!

About Us

Polluto is the Spectrum Fantastic Arts award-winning magazine which tries to form a dialogue with popular culture and traditional genres. It is our intent to question and subvert, satirise and critique.

This Issue

We gave our writers the following mission for Issue 4: Queer & Loathing in Wonderland.

Think about the body and gender; think about sex; think about the landscapes we live in, the ideals we strive for and the utopian dream; think about urban existence and disaffection; think about gonzo journalism and the collapse between fiction and non-fiction; think about weird places and strained interactions in a place full of strangers.

So why not step inside and take a better look around?
News and Updates

A Steampunk Orange

Cutlass-wielding youths in tweed suits prowl the dingy redlight districts of Mars, intrepid colonialist explorers hunt giant squid in the clockwork submarines of an alternate past . . . and Polluto rises from the mists, casting ghostly phosphorescence through the gloom, and calls you. It's time to reach out and take the fruit. It's time to wind yourself up and escape.

The toys want out and they're hungry for knowledge! Reserve your copy today here
