Projects in Progress
In this chilling epistolary thriller, a journalist’s quest to understand the roots of violence leads her into an unthinkable experiment—one that may destroy everything she holds dear. Driven by the desire for truth, Sophie sets out to study the nature versus nurture debate through an unlikely and horrifying lens: having a child with a notorious serial killer. As she becomes entangled in his manipulative games, Sophie’s moral compass spirals out of control, forcing her to confront the darkness within herself and the irreversible consequences of her choices.
This is not just a story about a dangerous experiment—it’s about a woman’s desperate attempt to control the uncontrollable and a mother’s final goodbye to the child she should never have.
The Grave Woman
Kreacher has been digging graves with her father since she was eight. Though her sight is fading, she has grown to love the solitude of the cemetery. The townspeople have taunted her for years, calling her the blind girl who plays with dead things, hiding in the shadows. But when a walk home turns deadly, spilling secrets and blood, Kreacher is left bedridden, grappling with a broken reality and haunting memories.
One night, Kreacher hears whispers outside her window, and though she initially believes it’s just the townspeople tormenting her, the voices lead her toward something darker. Grabbing a bat, she follows the whispers to an abandoned graveyard known as The Willows, but there’s no one there.
As Kreacher delves deeper into her increasingly fractured existence, she uncovers a web of long-buried secrets—things that should have stayed forgotten but are now clawing their way to the surface. The Grave Woman is a psychological horror that blends folklore and terror, in which the dead won’t stay buried—and the living are never safe from what lies beneath.
