What if the characters you escaped into were never fictional to begin with?
Shaila has always found comfort in books. But when she begins seeing and speaking to characters from her favourite stories, comfort quickly turns into something far more terrifying.
Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Shaila is forced to question her own mind. Are the people she sees merely hallucinations-or is someone trying to tell her something?
Then comes Krishna, an enigmatic stranger who communicates through cryptic letters and seems to know far more about Shaila than he should.
As her alcoholic sister grows increasingly distant and secrets surrounding her family's past begin to surface, Shaila is drawn into a legacy that blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality. And somewhere in the middle of it all is Carlos-the man she loves, and perhaps the one person who can either anchor her to reality or be lost to it.
Because some stories are never meant to stay on the page.
And some curses have been waiting generations to be rewritten.
When Shaila finally uncovers the truth, she is faced with an impossible choice:
Save herself-or save the man she loves.
In a haunting tale of love, madness, magic, and buried secrets, Delusional asks one terrifying question:
What if the world thinks you're losing your mind because you're the only one who can see the truth?
