Martie Rhodes is a young wife, a video game designer, and a compassionate woman who takes her agoraphobic friend Carol to weekly therapy sessions. Carol is so afraid of leaving her apartment that these trips are grim ordeals for both women — but bonding experiences as well.

Then one morning Martie experiences a sudden fear of her own, a brief but disquieting terror of... her shadow. The episode is over so quickly, it leaves her shaken but amused. Then, as she is about to check her makeup, she realizes she is terrified to look in the mirror and confront her own face.

As the episodes of this traumatic condition — autophobia — build, the lives of Martie and her husband, Dustin, change drastically. And as they inch closer to the horrible truth behind their troubles, Dustin finds himself afflicted with a condition even more bizarre and terrifying than Martie's...

False Memory is sure to be one of the most praised books of 2000. No fan of psychological suspense will want to miss this extraordinary novel of the human mind's capacity to torment — and destroy.
