The Pain Scale (#6)
$15.00
The Pain Scale: The union of chronic pain and solace in masochism. The heights of incendiary sensations. From the horrors of a traumatizing doctor's procedure to the celebration of cold water swimming. An origin story about the desire for needles and the romancing of an unforgiving winter and its brutal touch. The exhaustion of inhabiting an aching body that was not chosen, and reclamation through intensities that are.
