So if you like Neil Gaiman, like me, you may be excited about his new book, The Graveyard Book.
In this new novel, "The Graveyard Book," takes place in a cemetery, where an orphaned boy is raised by a vampire, a werewolf and a witch.
Sounds interesting.
Gaiman says that "The Graveyard Book" is a metaphor for life, family and leaving home. The book opens with a baby boy escaping an assassin who has massacred his parents and older sister. The boy totters to a decrepit cemetery, where he's adopted by ghosts, christened Nobody Owens (Bod for short) and given the Freedom of the Graveyard.
I like his work. It's challenging, terrifying, beautiful, and strange. Sandman was brilliant and truly a delightful read from time to time. The Books of Magic or the original Harry Potter, was a gem. If you haven't read any of his work, please do so, it's sublime.
