    🏔️ 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?

    🎙️ This cozy horror mystery is perfect for fans of:
    • atmospheric Alaskan mysteries
    • slasher-adjacent slow-burn horror
    • dark academia energy with a dive bar twist

    A Candle for Dark and Stormy Nights - A Psychological Horror Tale

    👻 Written and Produced by Julie Hopkins

    🔦 Tess is a candlemaker with a deep fear of storms—and an even deeper fear of the unknown.

    🕯️ 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. As the power goes out and the rain pours down, Tess must follow flickering lights, lost love, and one very determined feline into the darkness she’s spent her life avoiding. 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.

    🎙️ This cozy horror story is perfect for fans of:
    • slow-burn emotional horror
    • stormy night mysteries
    • magical realism with a touch of heartbreak
    • cozy ghost stories with heart
    • cats that may or may not be supernatural

    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
