Cover CG art Copyright 4D Heaven Deep beneath the seething, zombie-infested landscape of Nippon, the city of New Tokioh has sunk itself thermometer-like into the sphincter of the Earth. At its heart, a media-maven who plays the cultural libido of a city-state desperate for stimulus in their otherwise innane lives. Punk meets Bizarro meets Flesh-eating Zombies -- all of it shot live and infected for the world to jerkload off to. A man, a woman, the yakuza, and zombie sex, all part of an original bizarro microfiction short story first serialized on Twitter and then touted across the blogosphere.
