About
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.
