Sandcastle

In this taut, one-shot graphic novel from SelfMadeHero, writer Pierre Oscar Lévy and artist Frederik Peeters craft a surreal and unsettling beachside mystery. A group of strangers on a secluded shore discovers that time is physically accelerating around them, aging everyone and everything at a terrifying rate. Peeters' expressive, naturalistic art grounds the high-concept premise in raw human emotion, making this a quietly powerful meditation on mortality.
