Riverdale meets Stranger Things in this debut queer YA graphic novel, developed from a hit webcomic. Set in the haunted town of Blackwater, Maine, two boys fall for each other as they dig for clues to a paranormal mystery. "For fans of Heartstopper and Teen Wolf." —School Library Journal Tony Price is a popular high school track star and occasional delinquent aching for his dad’s attention and approval. Eli Hirsch is a quiet boy with a chronic autoimmune disorder that has ravaged his health and social life. What happens when these two become unlikely friends (and a whole lot more . . .) in the spooky town of Blackwater, Maine? Werewolf curses, unsavory interactions with the quarterback of the football team, a ghostly fisherman haunting the harbor, and tons of high school drama.Co-illustrated by Jeannette Arroyo and Ren Graham, who alternate drawing chapters in their own unique and dynamic styles, Blackwater combines the spookiness of Anya's Ghost with the irreverent humor of Nimona.

"This was really great!! I loved the werewolf storyline as well as the auto immune, trans, and queer rep! The art style was great and it was really cool that both authors illustrated but their art styles mixed so well. I think it ended really great but I would love to see more of their story or even just more stories in this universe!"

"Thank you Netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review. <br/><br/>"Blackwater" by Jeannette Arroyo and Ren Graham is, about two boys Tony and Eli become friends who a spooky town. <br/><br/>I would give "Blackwater" by Jeannette Arroyo and Ren Graham a one-star review because, `1; while the premise sounded interesting the story fell short 2; the characters looked like more adults than teens 3; the story and characters was boring and 3; I honestly hated this book."
