What if everything you believed to be true was nothing more than an illusion? What if the reality you lived in was, in fact, a construct of your mind—a mind that you could no longer trust? Ashwini Sanjiv Gadgil’s INSANITY takes readers on a gripping psychological rollercoaster, where the boundaries between truth and hallucination disintegrate, leaving behind only confusion, fear, and uncertainty.
At the heart of INSANITY is Sita, a woman trapped in a terrifying nightmare that refuses to let go. She finds herself in an unfamiliar, horrific place—a setting that is neither ghostly nor supernatural, but disturbingly real in its depravity. Before her, there is a room made entirely of glass. Inside, a girl is slowly and cruelly tortured to death. The scene is relentless, forcing Sita to bear witness to suffering beyond comprehension. The horror is overwhelming, but the worst part? She has no idea if it is real.
Tormented by these visions, Sita seeks professional help. Dr. Pradip and Soham, the two individuals she trusts, diagnose her with psychosis, a condition that explains the gruesome hallucinations haunting her mind. But just as the journey toward healing begins, Soham disappears without a trace. His sudden vanishing throws Sita into deeper turmoil, making her question everything—her own sanity, her surroundings, and the people around her.
Parallel to Sita’s mental descent, a group of researchers, unhinged and obsessed with the dark depths of human psychology, engage in sinister experiments. Their pursuit of knowledge goes beyond ethical boundaries, pushing them toward horrifying acts of cruelty. For them, the mind is a playground—a space to manipulate, dissect, and ultimately destroy. Their work is not just scientific; it is fueled by a twisted hunger for power, control, and bloodlust. The deeper Sita falls into her own mental abyss, the closer she gets to the horrifying truth behind these ruthless experiments. But is she merely imagining it all? Or is she, too, a victim of their sadistic research?
INSANITY masterfully crafts an atmosphere of paranoia and psychological terror. As readers navigate Sita’s unstable perception of reality, they are forced to question their own understanding of truth. The novel does not simply tell a story; it immerses the reader in an experience—an unsettling, pulse-pounding descent into the fragile and deceptive nature of the human mind.
Ashwini Sanjiv Gadgil’s narrative is an exploration of the human psyche at its most vulnerable. INSANITY is not just a thriller; it is a deep dive into the horrors of mental instability, the ethics of scientific exploration, and the fine line between genius and madness. The novel does not just challenge Sita’s grasp on reality—it challenges the reader’s as well.
Will Sita escape? Will she survive? Or is her reality nothing more than a figment of her own fractured mind? INSANITY leaves these questions lingering long after the final page is turned. Prepare for a psychological thriller that does not just play with your mind—it completely unravels it.
