Written and Illustrated by Jennifer Gray
A visual breakdown of how abusers weaponize narrative, perception, and silence to destroy credibility and preserve power.
This book isn’t about what happened.
It’s about the aftermath.
And how the story of harm gets reshaped, not by facts, but by tone, silence, and suggestion.
Through sharp language and stark visual metaphor, The Anatomy of a Smear Campaign reveals the psychological strategies used to frame survivors as unstable, dramatic, or “too much” and why those labels stick.
It explores the common phrases used to discredit someone after abuse, how emotional expression is weaponized, what betrayal does to the nervous system, how silence becomes complicity, and why some survivors never “look” like victims.
This is not a recovery manual or a self help book.
It’s a forensic record.
A mirror.
A tool.
A weapon.
