Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })False Memory is a 1999 novel by author Dean Koontz.Martie Rhodes is a successful, Happily Married video game designer, who one day abruptly becomes terrified of her own reflection, and then of herself. She grabs everything that could conceivably be turned in to a weapon out of her house and throws it away in a complete frenzy, and is taken by her concerned husband, Dusty, to see the psychiatrist currently treating her best friend for agoraphobia. Dusty himself has been experiencing odd bits of Missing Time, and his brother Skeet has recently tried to commit a rather bizarre suicide.The whole situation seems weird, almost supernatural, but the truth is even weirder and a good deal more twisted. Their good doctor, they discover, is not what he seems….For the trope, see Fake Memories.

All Gays Are Pedophiles
 False Memory / int_2461166d
comment
All Gays Are Pedophiles: Dr. Closterman is blackmailed with a tape of a child claiming to have been sexually abused by him, and Dr. Closterman fears his homosexuality would lead to this trope being put into play. Averted, however, in that the child was brainwashed into making the tape and that neither he nor his partner would ever dream of hurting a child.

comment
Author Tract: Koontz has a low opinion of the field of psychology and in psychiatric therapy in particular. The book exists to demonize both.

Abusive Parents: Dusty and Skeet's are pretty damn terrible. Skeet even refuses to call his mother anything other than her first name.

Beauty Is Bad

comment
Beauty Is Bad: Ahriman. He's handsome and most definitely beyond a bastard. Likewise with Claudette, an utterly heartless knockout. Averted with Dusty, Martie, and Susan, who are all genuinely good people.
