Summary

 Bloomsbury presents Coraline by Neil Gaiman, read by Dawn French.

When Coraline moves with her parents to a new house she is fascinated by the fact that their 'house' is infact only half of the house! Divided in to flats years before there is a brick wall behind a door where once there was a corridor and one day it is corridor again down which the intrepid Coraline wanders. And so a nightmare-ish mystery begins that takes Coraline in to the arms of counterfeit parents and a life that isn't quite right. Can Coraline get out? Can she find her real parents? Will life ever be the same again?(P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Literature & Fiction Scary Stories Science Fiction & Fantasy Scary

Critic Reviews

‘I think this book will nudge ALICE IN WONDERLAND out of its niche at last. It is the most splendidly original, weird, and frightening book I have read, and yet full of things children will love'
‘This book will send a shiver down your spine, out through your shoes and into a taxi to the airport. It has the delicate horror of the finest fairy tales, and it is a masterpiece. And you will never think about buttons in quite the same way again'
‘Beautiful and haunting ... A master modern fable'

Don't go there . Don't open the door. .....got ya! I made the mistake thinking relax with a children's book for a change. Can't be too scary a tale Dibleys vicar is telling the story. My heart is still racing after 2 days and I can't look at our old moggy with out thinking he is going to start speaking.
I found myself wide eyed with hands gripping onto the pillow. Wonderfully narrated. A children's story for all ages. Just when you thinking is over and your beta blockers have prevented your heart from bursting out your chest. Take a breath THE HAND with a much needed manicure comes a tap tap tapping........wanting some.....one.🗝👻

🗝🔮🚪👻 They're go na get ya .......RUN!

It’s a great story, but I honestly cannot tell which is creepier - book or movie. I love Gaiman’s writing and know I’m going to listen to this again.

Not sure what’s creepier

My two favourite things, coraline and Dawn French! She does a great job reading the novel and the story is very creepy! Perfect to listen to during the autumn season
