Gothictown is a creepy family horror story published on March 25, 2025. It follows Billie Hope, a New York restaurateur who moves with her family to the quaint town of Juliana, Georgia, drawn by an irresistible offer: a Victorian house for just $100 and a grant to open a new restaurant. Designed to revitalize the town post-pandemic, the 'Juliana Initiative' seems like the perfect opportunity for a fresh start and a new business venture.
But once Billie and her family settle here, a disturbing undercurrent begins to creep into Juliana's life beneath Juliana's southern charm. She tries to dismiss her suspicions as mere doubts, but the town's eerie atmosphere and hidden darkness are impossible to ignore. Billie soon realizes that Juliana is holding her family captive in more ways than one and that escape may not be as easy as she thought.
