Who are we when we lose everything, including our personalities? From her office at a mental health institute in the tropics, a troubled young woman counsels deeply disturbed clients while coping with her own heightening concerns. These include frightening consciousness lapses, violent memories of a high school sexual relationship, a menacing stalker, and an annoyingly arousing visitor who may or may not be insane. All this on a single stormy day at a time when a new mental health disorder has become epidemic and is threatening to distort memory and identity, unmooring the validity of reality itself.When the real you is someone you don't know, then you sing the songs of the maniacs.A seductive and chilling novella, Songs of the Maniacs takes readers on a fascinating descent into the abyss beneath the lush surfaces of contemporary American paradise.

I have to admit this was a very interesting book. It was different then what I normally read, and I kinda liked it. This book is one of those books that I couldn't put down. I read it because I wanted to try something a little different when it comes to just Young Adult Fantasy books, and I am glad I did. Granted it was only a Novella, is was still good. The beginning of the books leaves you wanting more and that is what happen to me. If you love mystery books this is the book for you.

"Songs of the Maniacs" is about a women who tries to help patients with SIPD, while dealing with her own problems from the past and the present. She doesn't mind helping the people, but she wants to do it professionally, without any interruptions. The further you get into the book you start to understand what is going on, everyone around here has an affect on her one way or the other. But what has you going is, is all this a dream or is in reality, who is to tell except you.
