Surviving the Casperverse - Healing Through Humour After Narcissistic Relationships

What if the "friendly ghost" wasn't so friendly? What if love-bombing, gaslighting, ghosting, and guilt trips were all wrapped up in a smile? Welcome to the Casperverse — where sweetness hides chains, and laughter becomes survival. This isn't just another book about narcissistic relationships — it's a survival guide dressed in satire, dark humor, and savage truth bombs. Through the metaphor of Casper the Friendly Ghost — recast here as the charming-but-toxic narcissist — author Candz unpacks the chaos of emotional manipulation with both brutal honesty and laugh-out-loud absurdity. Each chapter blends: Casperverse Storytelling: a twisted ghost tale where "friendly" equals suffocating. Personal Reflection: raw experiences of living through gaslighting, ghosting, love-bombing, and control. Workbooks & Prompts: hands-on exercises to spot red flags, break trauma bonds, and reclaim your power. Affirmations & Mantras: simple, sarcastic reminders that you are not crazy — you were just haunted. You'll meet: The Friendly Mask (when charm hides control) The Haunted Chair (where boundaries are stolen seat by seat) The Gaslight in the Attic (innocence as manipulation) The Trio of Doubt (enablers who excuse the abuse) And the Shadow Crown (the trauma bond that keeps you stuck) This book doesn't sugarcoat. It doesn't preach. It gives you the map out — through wit, wisdom, and the reminder that your story matters more than the ghost's excuses. If you've ever: Felt smothered by "too much friendliness." Questioned your sanity after gaslighting. Been told to "lighten up" by enablers. Struggled to leave because of guilt, fantasy, or trauma bonds. …then Surviving Through the Casperverse is for you. It will help you: Name the manipulation. Laugh at the absurdity. Heal through humor. Finally walk out of the haunted house and back into your life. The ghost doesn't get the last word. You do. Read this book if you're ready to reclaim your space, your story, and your laughter. Because not every "friendly ghost" is a friend.
