Abstract
Drag Me All the Way Down is a story about how we define ourselves by our relationships, how we deal with grief, and what can happen if we let ourselves become consumed by both.
It is, at its core, a gothic horror story.
Since her husband committed suicide six months ago Sally Markham has struggled to cope both mentally and financially. After visiting his art studio for the first time since he died, Sally is struck by supernatural occurrence – she sees her husband, John. This prompts her to accept an offer of work from John’s former agent, much to the dismay of her best friend Diane. With hopes that she will uncover more about who her husband really was she ventures to a place he kept secret from her in order to finish his final painting.
Plagued by nightmares, horrific visions and preternatural monstrosities, Sally ventures deeper into her husband’s past and risks losing her sanity – and possibly her life.
