The Graveyard Book

The Graveyard Book - Thryft
The Graveyard Book - Thryft

Ghostly guardianship in a living boy's graveyard life.

"The Graveyard Book" is a macabre twist on the typical coming-of-age story. It could resonate with you if you're drawn to imaginative tales woven with a gothic thread. Neil Gaiman has a knack for taking what seems dark and eerie and turning it into a narrative about growth, community, and finding one's place in the world—even if that place is amongst specters. It's an exploration of life, death, and the peculiar in-between that speaks to the adventurous and the curious.

Description

Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a perfectly normal boy. Well, he would be perfectly normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the world of the dead.There are dangers and adventures for Bod in the graveyard: the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer; a gravestone entrance to a desert that leads to the city of ghouls; friendship with a witch, and so much more.But it is in the land of the living that real danger lurks, for it is there that the man Jack lives and he has already killed Bod's family.A deliciously dark masterwork by bestselling author Neil Gaiman, with illustrations by award-winning Dave McKean.
