The Skull Rosary

The god, the demon, the king, the avatar and the son. Shiva took five heads for his rosary of skulls. We tell you why. The Skull Rosary is a retelling of five ancient myths of Rudra, the name Shiva wielded before civilisation. These are not the stories you heard when you were a child. They are stories of dark emotions, of lust, of jealousy, of hatred, of passion, of incest and of power. In these tales a god gives in to the greed that might begets, a king sacrifices his daughter to flames of jealousy, a god lusts after his daughter, a son craves his mother’s body and a bloodthirsty being lusts for revenge. These are tales from before man made laws for himself. This 100-page graphic novel will take you through five different worlds of demi-gods, avatars, demons, monsters and beings that cannot be named, much less understood. Enter at your own peril.
