ASYLUMANIA: PARANOIA
Step into the wards of ASYLUMANIA: PARANOIA, a chilling selection of horror fiction that explore the darkest corners of psychiatric history and the terrors that still linger within.
This collection chronicles the paranoia of confinement across time and geography: from the red-brick walls of colonial Bengal to the moss-covered corridors of a Philippine ruin, from the cold compresses of 19th-century “moral insanity” treatments to the gaslit rooms where memories are not merely forgotten but erased. Each story examines the power dynamics of institutional care: who decides who is sane, who holds the pen that creates the record, and what happens when the silenced finally find their voice.

ASYLUMANIA: PSYCHOSIS
ASYLUMANIA: PSYCHOSIS descends deep into your greatest nightmare, where the line between sanity and delusion is not a line at all but a door that creakily swings both ways.
From the decrepit ruins of colonial institutions to the maddening geometries of reality-bending asylums, the twenty-six stories within this anthology pushes beyond the boundaries of baseline horror into the realm of the truly unhinged. Here, the buildings themselves are alive, feeding on the madness they were constructed to contain while the patients are not broken; they believe they are the only ones who can see through the horrific grand design.
