Blackout

He wakes alone in a derelict barn with no memory of who he is.

Taken into psychiatric care, he is told his fear, confusion, and missing past are signs of a severe psychological breakdown. Calm voices, careful routines, and medication offer reassurance. The diagnosis explains everything, and for the first time, the panic begins to fade.

But inside the controlled quiet of the ward, small inconsistencies begin to appear. Notes are written he cannot read. Patients disappear without explanation. Questions are gently redirected until even doubt feels like a symptom.

As he learns to accept the story being told about him, a single piece of evidence surfaces that doesn't fit.

Was his blackout the result of illness... or something done in the name of treatment?

Blackout is a gripping psychological thriller about memory, identity, and the fragile line between care and control. Blending suspense with emotional depth, it explores what happens when you can no longer trust your own mind and must decide whose version of the truth to believe.

Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent, atmospheric psychological thrillers that linger long after the final page.
