Suspense fiction is about to get a major jolt with PSYCHOPATHIC, the latest thriller from author Jason Melby. Known for his ability to craft compelling narratives with deep psychological twists, Melby delivers a gripping story that explores paranoia, obsession, and the fragile boundaries of the human mind.

At the center of PSYCHOPATHIC is Faith Galloway, a psychiatrist whose life takes a tragic turn after losing her eyesight in a skydiving accident. Despite her blindness, Faith’s past continues to haunt her, particularly in the form of Ronald Neyman, a brilliant yet deeply unstable former patient who escapes from a mental institution in Cold Spring, New York. As Neyman relentlessly pursues Faith and her twin sister Mira, the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit races to uncover his true motive. The result is a tense and unpredictable journey filled with psychological torment, hidden truths, and relentless suspense.

Melby, who took a break from fiction to write song lyrics and build a new home in Brevard County, returns in full force with this electrifying novel. The first in a planned trilogy of modern suspense thrillers. Originally titled Blind Faith, PSYCHOPATHIC evolved from an earlier manuscript that Melby revisited and refined, ensuring that every page delivers maximum tension and intrigue. His signature style, blending psychological depth with high-stakes action, keeps readers on edge, offering a story that is as cerebral as it is thrilling.

A Writer Who Knows No Limits

Born in Upstate New York, Melby has lived and traveled extensively, drawing inspiration from a wide range of experiences. Initially aspiring to be an astronaut or a rockstar, he instead found his passion in storytelling, particularly within the thriller genre. His writing seamlessly incorporates elements of horror, mystery, and satire, crafting narratives that challenge his characters to confront their deepest fears.

Beyond his literary pursuits, Melby is a dedicated enthusiast of muscle cars and motorcycles, believing that “four wheels move the body, but two wheels move the soul.” This love for adrenaline-fueled experiences translates into his writing, where pacing and intensity are paramount.

With PSYCHOPATHIC, Melby sets a high bar for psychological thrillers, earning praise from critics and readers alike. BestThrillers describes it as “a masterclass in pacing and psychological tension,” while Kirkus Reviews commends its “muscular prose and relentless suspense.”

The novel is just the beginning. Two more thrillers are on the horizon, promising even more dark twists and unforgettable characters. For those craving a novel that refuses to be put down, PSYCHOPATHIC is the must-read thriller of the year.
