happy halloween from the hollow
There’s a certain stillness that creeps in every October night. The air sharpens, the leaves whisper secrets underfoot, and the moon hangs heavy—watchful—as if waiting for something to stir.
Halloween isn’t just a holiday; it’s a season of remembering. Of old stories told around dim lamps and bonfires. Of masks that let us become our shadows for a night. Of the thin space between the living and the dead growing thin enough to hear what’s on the other side.
At Dark Hollow Media, this is the time we live for—the hum of old radios, the flicker of jack-o’-lanterns, the ghosts that never quite stopped talking. It’s when Echoes in the Dark feels most alive, and the line between story and reality blurs beautifully.
So light a candle. Pour a cup of something warm. Step outside and listen. The Hollow is restless tonight.
Because Halloween doesn’t end when the clock strikes midnight—it lingers in the corners, behind closed doors, waiting for you to turn the lights off.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

🎙️ Echoes in the Dark: Original Stories, True Hauntings, and Horror Genre Explored
welcome to the hollow
There’s a place where stories don’t die — they linger.
In whispers. In shadows. In the spaces between heartbeats.
Welcome to Dark Hollow Media — where storytelling crosses the threshold between the living and the haunted.
What began as a single story, Hopewell Hollow, has grown roots far deeper than I ever imagined. It’s more than a book. It’s a world — stitched together by folklore, faith, and fear — and it’s expanding into film, podcasts, and art. Every branch of this creative tree reaches for something just out of sight… something we can feel but never fully explain.
Here, you’ll find:
🌒 Stories — original fiction that explores the haunted corners of small-town America.
🔮 Echoes in the Dark — our podcast where we share tales, hauntings, and horrors that blur the line between truth and legend.
🩸 Behind the Veil — updates on our novels, scripts, and the growing Hopewell Hollow universe.
🌲 The Store — exclusive Dark Hollow designs, books, and art prints inspired by the Hollow’s mythology.
This isn’t just a media company. It’s a gathering place for those who still believe that stories have power — that the past never truly stays buried.
So, if you hear something stirring in the dark… lean closer. It’s just us.
We’ve been waiting for you.
