Viagro Blue

About the Book

Thirty years before Viagra, 44288, An Ohio Mental Patient and author of the amazing Quatrain, Some Die Mad, conceives of Viagro, a pill to help male erections which goes terribly wrong and wrecks (creates?) the life of a New York insurance company actuary called Millard Fillmore. We all never got to see Vincent Van Gogh pen some cartoons for the New Yorker but this is probably the next best thing. Prepare to fall off your sofa.
