How A Therapist Writes Horror With Purpose

We sit down with therapist and author Geletta Shavers to unpack the real emotions and ethical choices behind her Dragged Into Darkness books. We talk horror, trauma, bullying, manipulation, and how indie publishing lets her protect her voice while building a supportive author community. • how a mental health background shapes writing and boundaries around trauma • what inspires Jasmine’s vengeance arc without depicting sexual assault • why the victims face a 30-day countdown and what that choice signals • how the series shifts from horror into psychological thriller territory • Michael’s obsession, trauma, and the mental health lens behind his behaviour • the planned future of the series including Joe Evil’s origin and the mother’s final spotlight • why we choose indie publishing and what we learn about trust, editing, and logistics • how beta readers and ARC readers strengthen the bullying backstory and character motives • what Geletta Shavers is building next including The Black Castle horror concept So you can follow me on Facebook.
