🏔️ 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?

  • atmospheric Alaskan mysteries
