Unreliable Memory: The Memory That Lies Back

Memory doesn’t just fade in psychological horror — it lies back.

In this episode of MindTwist, Manuel breaks down how to use unreliable memory as a weapon on the page: how to turn forgotten moments, distorted recall and “I’m sure it happened like this…” into pure psychological dread.

You’ll learn:

  • Why memory should be treated as an active, shifting narrative

  • How to use false or “edited” memories to break a character’s identity

  • Three practical techniques to twist memory without confusing the reader

Then, Manuel reads a scene from his psychological thriller JULIA — the attic moment with the photograph that shouldn’t exist — to show those ideas in action.

💀 If you write (or love reading) psychological horror, this one’s for you.
