Vascular Necrosis
Vascular Necrosis is a disjointed narrative that subverts typical zombie tropes to explore identity, mental illness, and belonging. Five years ago, Penelope killed herself. Four years ago, she rose from the dead as a man-eating monster. Now, with the help of “de-necrotizers” – medication meant to subdue these man-eating instincts, she gets to rejoin society in the land of the living. But how do you exist in a world you never wanted to be a part of? Vascular Necrosis follows Penelope’s journey as she’s torn between the life she had before, and the after-life she wants to live.
