Summary

LOVE A GOOD HORROR STORY? Then " Folie¿" will scare you senseless! When Dr. Jane Lee, a recent graduate, takes her very first position as a psychiatrist at Southern States Mental Institute in Memphis, Tennessee, she gets more than she bargained for. The idyllic images she had created in her mind in school of treating the mentally ill clashes immediately and drastically with the reality of the practice in real life. From the creepy, rundown facility in which she now works to the mental health industry itself, and even to her first-ever patient, Matilda Rose, nothing is as she had imagined it would be. As the story unfolds, Dr. Lee finds Matilda's psychosis, based around an ancient Chinese legend, to be far more chilling than anything she had encountered in training, and worse, it seems to be spreading - a situation described in the psychiatric journals as folie, or mass hysteria. Will Dr. Lee be able to save Matilda Rose and find a way to resist the pull of her overwhelming psychosis? Or will the good doctor fall prey herself and join the ranks of those who have already been drawn into the eerie and unsettling world of her patient?
