A five-part anthology zine, AVERSION is a queerly surreal work of freeform horror storytelling featuring a unique multimedia build and original illustrations to bring to life the harrowing tale of Owen, a teenager hurled head and soul-first into a mad doctor’s practice of dangerous and degrading therapy.

Chapter Two: “Canine”:
The scope widens in the first sequel chapter of Owen’s ‘therapeutic’ journey. Beginning in 1800s Russia, a mutt experiences the breakthrough of Ivan Pavlov’s classic experiments but meets a strange force who has come to steal and warp them to modern day. It is here our protagonist must endure the aversive conditioning of his identity under the nefarious tactics of Your Doctor. Meanwhile, joined by an all-new motley crew of characters and locales, Owen discovers larger spiritual forces at work that could promise salvation…or destroy everything.
