The Spiral Series – A Sci-Fi Horror Epic

A Terrifying Descent into Memory, Mutation, and Collapse

Broadway Shows

The Spiral didn’t arrive in ships. It didn’t make contact.

It simply… began.

Across forests, bunkers, and broken minds, an alien resonance awakens—and with it, the decay of everything we believe to be human. The Spiral Series is a mind-bending sci-fi horror saga that unfolds like a living virus, rewriting reality from the inside out.

If you crave the atmospheric dread of Annihilation, the cosmic terror of The Thing, and the surreal depth of House of Leaves, this series will infect your imagination.

THE BOOKS

A family lost in the woods. A shape that infects the mind. The Spiral is awake—and it spreads by knowing.

In a scarred world reborn, survivors must embrace evolution or face extinction. The Spiral didn’t die—it became something new.

A haunting, lyrical sci-fi novel about memory, identity, and survival—told through the eyes of a silent alien archivist.

A family unravels as memory becomes weapon, language mimics life, and the Spiral decides what—and who—is worth remembering.

SPIRAL GENESIS

“Some heard it. Some resisted. But no one escaped the Spiral.”

When a perfect spiral appears in a remote forest clearing, it marks the beginning of something Earth was never meant to hold.

As more spirals emerge—etched in soil, scorched into rooftops, whispered into minds—Riley and Caleb find themselves caught between a strange awakening and an ancient alien recursion that doesn’t speak… it listens.

But the Spiral isn’t invading. It’s unfolding. And what it reveals will change what it means to be human—if it doesn’t break them first.

“Once you see the Spiral, it’s already too late.”

A forgotten forest. A buried signal. A family unraveling.

When a mother and her children venture into the wilderness to reconnect, they uncover something ancient—an idea that infects the mind and reshapes reality. The Spiral is waking, and it doesn’t spread by touch. It spreads by being known..
