Read It Now
By Neil Gaiman
A frightening and murderous man named Jack enters a sleeping house where only an 18-month-old baby escapes his knife. The baby crawls to a nearby graveyard where he is taken in by the spirits who reside there and is provided for by a neither fully dead, nor fully alive guardian, Silas.
As Bod (short for Nobody Owen) grows up, he learns life's lessons from a variety of cemetery residents who hail from a variety of times, places and experiences. But can a child protected only by the dead survive in the outside world away from the protection of spirits? And can he make his way in a world where his family's murderer still exists?
A cunning combination of death, fantasy, comedy and humanity, Gaiman's story is as haunting as it is extraordinary.
