    🏔️ The Spike – Part One

    👻 Written and Produced by Julie Hopkins

    🔦 Disgraced journalist Nora Keene thought she could escape her past by taking a bartending job in a hidden dive bar deep in Denali, Alaska. But when a ghost story she tells at open mic night mirrors a brutal real-life attack, Nora finds herself tangled in something far darker than small-town gossip. As old stories resurface and new threats appear, Nora must untangle the twisted truth about a missing girl, a haunting disappearance, and a dangerous killer who knows exactly how to push her buttons—starting with a voicemail from beyond the grave.

    😱 The Spike is a chilling, slow-burn mystery about ghost stories that become real, the weight of guilt, and the danger of unfinished stories. Will Nora uncover the truth—or become part of the legend herself?

    🕯️ When a stray cat wanders into her candle shop just as a summer storm rolls in, Tess is pulled into a long, dark night filled with memories, mysterious candles, and one marsh that seems to know her heart a little too well.

But in losing her way, she may finally find what she’s been running from all along.

    😱 A Candle for Dark and Stormy Nights is a gently spooky tale of emotional storms, second chances, and the quiet magic of letting someone in—even when you're afraid of what the night might bring.

    Springtime Seance - A Haunted House Horror Tale

    👻 Written and Produced by Julie Hopkins

    🌷 Clara has always stayed quiet. As an assistant at an event planning company, she’s used to being overlooked — until she’s tasked with helping run a springtime séance fundraiser at the mysterious Whisperwood Manor. While preparing for the event, strange things begin to bloom: piano notes with no player, flowers appearing where they shouldn’t, and an old composer’s name that doesn’t tell the whole story.

    🎹 In this hauntingly soft tale of ghosts, gardens, and finding your voice, Springtime Séance blends cozy horror, historical mystery, and slow-burn supernatural drama.

    🎙️ This cozy horror story is perfect for fans of:
    gentle ghost stories
    haunted house fiction
    themes of artistic injustice and healing
    flower symbolism and nature-based horror
    slow burn horror with emotional payoff
