What is Mythomania?

What happens when lying becomes a way of existing?

When lies become poison — and how my novel unravels the truth.

• An intense fear of rejection,

• Or a powerful complex of inferiority.

These lies become shields, performances, acts of control.

And sometimes, they become weapons.
