Rainbow Filth, sounds like a fun time. Like mdma or something to take at an end festival right!
” It’s funny to think about the chain of events, how things unfold, reflect on specific moments where you could have done things slightly differently. If you’d done A instead of B, how would things have played out?
Impossible to know for sure, but the thought is always there, haunting me like a spirit stuck in some earthly purgatory.”
If someone ever asks you if you want an out of this world, eyopening experience. A reality altering trip, and ask if you have ever tried ‘Rainbow Filth’ im warning you to walk away, go and find a copy to read of Tim Meyer’s book Rainbow Filth and never go find that person who offered you that experience again.
“Anyway. You asked for the story, I’m going to give you the whole story. I want you to understand everything.
Maybe it will help.”

Story told from 3rd person
And 1st person from Adam
Wrong!! Adam’s here to tell us why we’ve always been told “don’t do drugs kids” because they can be violently dangerous, or [coach Carr voice from Mean Girls] ‘you will get high and die’.
After a horrible drug trip Adam has found himself in a very bad predicament. After experiencing Rainbow Filth, he is found by the police covered in the blood of a missing professor.
Now Adam has one last chance to convince the officer that he isn’t a druggie and the reality of Rainbow Filth and the horrors that one experiences are real. He needs to convince authorities of his innocence by making them believe his truth. No matter how crazy it may sound.
Tim’s narrative asks the question can the quest for knowledge be horrifying? Can the need to know more become dangerous? What happens when we don’t get the answers we need? Can an obsession with the need to know end up taking over you life, can it take away everything that matters to you?
