Delusional Madness

Delusional Madness is a haunting work of historical psychological fiction set in a late 19th-century asylum, where truth is often dismissed as delusion and silence is enforced as treatment.

Ohio, 1890s. When Cassie Alexander is wrongfully committed by her husband, she is thrust into a world hidden behind barred windows and locked doors—a place where women are confined not only for mental illness, but for defiance, grief, and the misfortune of being inconvenient.

Inside the institution, patients are stripped of their dignity and subjected to questionable and often cruel purported treatments under the authority of those who claim to care for them. As whispers echo through dim corridors and secrets linger within the walls, Cassie begins to understand that survival depends not only on endurance, but on uncovering the truth.

Refusing to surrender her voice, she forms fragile alliances and bears witness to the injustices surrounding her, determined to expose what lies beneath the surface of the asylum’s orderly facade.

Inspired by real historical practices and the experiences of women confined to 19th-century institutions, Delusional Madness explores themes of power, control, resilience, and the fragile line between sanity and madness.
