The Origin of Delusions

By: N. M. Brown, Velox Books

Narrated by: Lucius Voss, Victoria Voss

Sanity has a breaking point… and N. M. Brown has located it with terrifying precision.

A toy traps a father in a nightmarish time loop. Mysterious vintage televisions appear, showing their new owners exactly how—and when—they will die. The veil between pretend and reality shatters when children’s Halloween costumes become real. A group of missing children return… horrifically reassembled from each other’s parts.

These stories and others are the beginning of your descent into madness. They will colonize your thoughts, whisper in your ear at 3 AM, and make you question your grip on reality.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Creepy kids!

NM is an awesome writer! I am working my way through every one of her books and she never disappoints! As for Victoria and Lucius, their narrations separately and as a team are excellant!

Disturbing and fun

The best way to describe this one, was darkly fun. I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. I have to say, this was the dark fun I look for in horror, especially in short stories like this. I was entertained, disturbed, and a tad unsettled overall by a lot of these but in a deliciously good way. I had a blast with these, and both narrators nailed it. Great job guys, great book. Thank you for the opportunity. I can't wait to read more.
