Allodynia by Violet Kitchen
When a local hospital puts out a recruitment flyer for an experimental medical study, Tess decides to volunteer, hoping to repair their relationship with their chronically ill partner Jules. But as the study progresses, they're forced to confront their own relationship to pain — and its limits.
Allodynia is a slow, tense dive into the murky spaces between sickness, empathy, and desire, and a study of the body in pain.
124 pages; black and white with colour.
