Dr. Samuel Hendricks has performed hundreds of autopsies.
It’s always the same: a body, a set of organs, a brain.
And when Christopher’s body rolls in late one night, having perished to the demon alcohol, Hendricks isn’t surprised to find the brain is swollen.
But what he didn’t expect to find was that the brain is still alive.
And if the brain is still alive, the mind must be too.
And if the mind is alive …
This short story examines the medical realities of bodies as commodities, patient agency, the mind-body connection, and the idea that you are not truly dead until your mind has gone.
Inspired by supernatural horrors of the 19th century but taken into modern times, The Brain explores what it would be like to be trapped inside your own head … but on a whole new level.
Hand printed and bound by Mo Medusa themselves.
Featuring a real MRI image of Mo Medusa’s brain on the cover.
