1996. A missing girl.
A town's dark secret.
Red lights in the woods...
Welcome to Westville is a supernatural thriller by Michigan author Ryder Jones, blending 1990s nostalgia, small-town dread, and a creeping dimensional terror.
When thirteen-year-old Millie Thompson disappears on a frigid October night, her best friend Olivia Fischer refuses to believe she’s gone for good. Meanwhile, local officer Casey Benson is forced to confront a past mistake that never stopped haunting him. As strange lights flicker in the trees and shadowy agents roll into town, Olivia and Casey—one young and searching, the other broken and weary—must uncover what’s hiding beneath Westville’s quiet facade.
But something ancient is awakening.
And it’s hungry.
Set in a fictional Michigan town haunted by secrets, grief, and leyline anomalies, Westville is for fans of Stranger Things, The X-Files, Twin Peaks, and early Stephen King.
