The Watcher of Westbrook by Aidyn Corday

Do you know the history of the house? Do you know what lies within the walls of 657 Boulevard? Why are you here? I will find out.” My grandfather watched the house in the 1920s and my father watched in the 1960s. 657 Boulevard has been the subject of my family for decades now and as it approaches its 110th birthday, I have been put in charge of watching and waiting for its second coming. He soon found a white envelope addressed to “The New Owner,” but it wasn’t your typical “welcome to the neighborhood” note:Īllow me to welcome you to the neighborhood.

The new Netflix series comes out on October 13 and the timing couldn’t be more perfect because this story is packed with all the creepy twists and turns you want for spooky season. And if you’re not, then let me fill you in, because it’s a wild ride. If you’re familiar with the real-life story behind Netflix’s new show The Watcher, then you, like me, have probably been waiting for this series to come out for a looooong time.
