Are They Really Hallucinations? by Indiana Tysick

This book is a journey through hell. But it isn’t fantasy.

It is what happens when doctors label monsters as symptoms. When terror is explained away as psychosis. When your brain is either tormenting you with your worst fears … or finally allowing you to see them clearly.

When something you’re told isn’t real throws you down a flight of stairs and sends your dogs into a frenzy, reality begins to fracture.

You show up at the doctor’s office bruised, bleeding, fingers broken. You are handed anxiety medication.

Memories surface of things you don’t remember doing. You see your daughter walk down the stairs, even though you’ve been told she’s been dead for three years. Your father, who is also dead, warns you of what’s coming.

Shadows move with intent. Children appear wearing other people’s skin.

This book explores the thoughts most people are afraid to confront - and what happens when there is no longer a clear line between hallucination and truth.
