REVIEW: The Watcher

The Watcher
Author: Ralph Tedesco
Artwork: Victoria Rau

Erica is the daughter of a Catholic Deacon. Her parents are very strict and pretty much never let her out of their sight. They don't like her friends. They don't trust her. She just feels....trapped.  And the nightmares don't help make it better. Almost every night she sees the frightening entity in her room...she finds strange symbols carved in the floor....and her creepy next door neighbor always watching... 

Very creepy story! Excellent graphic novel!

This story reminds me so much of movies I loved when I was a teenager in the 80s. Teenage girl....trio of friends....scary supernatural stuff going on....gruesome murders in suburbia. Perfect entertaining horror premise as far as I am concerned!

I enjoyed the story. It was a nice mix of teenage life/angst at growing up and supernatural horror. The artwork is awesome! The story line kept up the suspense and horror until the very end. The ending wasn't really a surprise as I've been reading and watching this type of horror tale for decades now. But, it was very nicely executed! Very enjoyable horror graphic novel!
