Black Sand Beach

In Black Sand Beach (2020–present, Holiday House), writer and artist Richard Fairgray spins an eerie, atmospheric tale of a family vacation gone wrong on a mysterious, isolated beach. This two-issue comic series from the children’s graphic novel imprint blends suspense with a touch of the supernatural, as its young protagonists confront the strange, threatening secrets lurking beneath the sand. Fairgray’s distinctive, moody artwork and tight, character-driven storytelling make this a quietly unsettling, page-turning read for middle-grade audiences.
