Dermaphoria (2005) is a novel written by American author Craig Clevenger.

Bailed out and holed up in a low rent motel, Eric finds the solution to his amnesia in a strange new hallucinogen.

By synthesizing the sense of touch, the drug produces a disjointed series of sensations that slowly allow Eric to remember his former life as a clandestine chemist.

With steadily increasing doses, Eric reassembles his past at the expense of his grip on the present, and his distinction between truth and fantasy crumbles as his paranoia grows in tandem with his tolerance.

It was directed by Ross Clarke and starred Joseph Morgan, Ron Perlman, Kate Walsh, and Walton Goggins.
