{"product_id":"9781906838386-sandcastle","title":"Sandcastle","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt'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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991629017307,"sku":"9781906838386","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/568d78fd-8638-41f6-a17e-9c9dd0cd4e01.jpg?v=1784507993","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781906838386-sandcastle","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
