Cherry Creek Paranormal is a middle-grade sci-fi horror graphic novel. The story follows a club of young paranormal investigators uncovering the secrets lurking within their town and adapting to massive ecological change, all while trying to navigate the eighth grade.
The story aims to explore the existential dread of growing up in a rapidly changing world through the lens of horror in children's media and the ways in which nostalgia and conspiracy-thinking are weaponized in the 21st century.
As an illustrator, I'm personally interested in monsters, ghosts, and all things scary as a way to explore reflections of ourselves. There has been a distinct lack of truly scary stories for kids in recent years, and I want Cherry Creek Paranormal to be a space for kids living in a scary world to know they're not alone.
