The Graveyard Book
The Graveyard Book

Ghostly guardians teach life to living boy.

"The Graveyard Book" is an enchanting tale that blends the macabre with a poignant coming-of-age story. Neil Gaiman has a unique gift for conjuring up fantastical worlds grounded in reality, making them feel relatable yet thrillingly otherworldly. As Bod grows up among the spirits, so will your affection for this darkly whimsical universe. If you enjoy stories where the line between the living and the dead is beautifully blurred, this book will resonate with you.

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.
