Out of Madness

by Rithwik Aryan

Mason Moron, a young psychology professor at Nalanda University, fakes his death and disappears after discovering that his wife has been cheating on him. His quest for reinvention leads him to a madman politician, Bahubali, who dreams of making the greatest porn movie ever. Together they plunge into a deep, dark world of carnal desire. But fate takes an insidious turn when they find themselves trapped in a mental asylum where the mesmerizing actress Ms Staci is battling her own demon. As their bond deepens, Mason must decide if his obsession with the starlet is worth sacrificing his freedom and life for. Stuck at the intersection of madness, lust, and love, Mason must exorcise his inner demons even as Bahubali plots his twisted legacy.

Will they escape the clutches of insanity or find solace in madness?

In a world where the line between sanity and insanity is wafer- thin and friendship and love are tested in the most surreal ways, Mason must confront his deepest desire, darkest fear, and the question whether he can ever truly be free. Out of Madness is a wild, heart-pounding tale of grief, lust, and redemption where madness might just be the key to salvation.

This book was hell boring
After reading it's preface I thought it is going to be an enjoyable read, but whatever is written in the preface u will find nothing more than that in the story which is extended to 500 pages at such a slow pacing
I don't know why is it being promoted by insta influencer as a dark psychological read
It was just a story of lusty man who keeps longing for sex in the entire book and at the end gets it. that's it, this is the whole plot nothing else

I'm unsure if I enjoyed the book, but it's certainly a confusing read. The only redeeming quality is the writing, which is entertaining, but the plot is lacking. I found myself easily distracted and, at times, wanting to abandon the book altogether. The characters are neither memorable nor likable, and I disliked each one.

Heard a lot about it on Bookstagram. Then getting the book was a hassle. The publishers have discontinued it, I guess, so I had to buy a used copy from someone on Instagram.

This book is a different ball game altogether. Once you pick it up, you’ll think about it every waking minute until you’ve finished the story. Some people find the character unlikeable. I love his voice. Kudos to the author for taking this risk.
