A HOMETOWN SUPERNATURAL THRILLER

Something’s wrong in Westville... and it’s been wrong for a long time.
​
When thirteen-year-old Millie Thompson vanishes without a trace, small-town cop Casey Benson is thrust into a haunting investigation that threatens to rip open the quiet Midwest town he thought he knew. As shadowy agents roll in and secrets long buried begin to claw their way to the surface, Casey is forced to confront the truth: this is no ordinary missing persons case—and Westville is no ordinary town.
​
Meanwhile, Millie’s best friend, Olivia Fischer, is chasing a different trail. Drawn into the woods by flickering red lights and a whispering presence just beyond the trees, she stumbles into something ancient, hungry—and far from human.
​
As time runs out, Casey and Olivia uncover a dark force pulsing beneath Westville’s idyllic surface. A force born of nightmares, feeding on fear, and bending reality itself.
Welcome to Westville. The veil is thinning.
​
A genre-bending supernatural thriller blending small-town mystery, liminal dread, 90s nostalgia, and dimensional horror, Welcome to Westville is perfect for fans of Stranger Things, Stephen King, Alan Wake, Twin Peaks, and The X-Files.
