About this product

Product Information

It's a perfect beach day, or so thought the family, young couple, a few tourists, and a refugee who all end up in the same secluded, idyllic cove filled with rock pools and sandy shore, encircled by green, densely vegetated cliffs. But this utopia hides a dark secret. First there is the dead body of a woman found floating in the crystal-clear water. Then there is the odd fact that all the children are aging rapidly. Soon everybody is growing older-every half hour-and there doesn't seem to be any way out of the cove. Levy's dramatic storytelling works seamlessly with Peeters's sinister art to create a profoundly disturbing and fantastical mystery. Praise for Sandcastle: Begins like a murder mystery, continues like an episode of The Twilight Zone, and finishes with a kind of existentialism that wouldn't be out of place in a Von Trier film. -Publishers Weekly, starred review Sandcastle is a fast 112-page read you won't be able to put down. -Cleveland.com Peeters and Levy convey some profound, if profoundly unsubtle, truths about the human condition. Weighty stuff, expertly told. -The Comics Bulletin

Lots of mysteries but no explanations
The book is well drawn and written.A lot of weird things happen to a group of people trapped on a small beach.Unfortunately at end of book nothing is explained about what causes all these weird things which left me feeling cheated by author.
