Beloved master storyteller Neil Gaiman returns with a luminous new novel for the audience that embraced his New York Times bestselling modern classic Coraline.
Magical, terrifying, and filled with breathtaking adventures, The Graveyard Book is sure to enthrall readers of all ages.
A man named Jack murders three members of a family but fails to kill the youngest child, a one-and-a-half-year-old boy. The child had crawled out of the house and up a hill to a graveyard where ghosts find him and raise him. The bulk of the book is about the protagonist's adventures in and out of the graveyard in which he lives as he grows up. There are ghouls, ghosts, a werewolf, a creature called the Sleer, a caretaker who exists on the border between life and death and so much more.
