When a baby escapes a murderer intent on killing the entire family, who would have thought it would find safety and security in the local graveyard?
Brought up by the resident ghosts, ghouls and spectres, Bod has an eccentric childhood learning about life from the dead. But for Bod there is also the danger of the murderer still looking for him – after all, he is the last remaining member of the family. A stunningly original novel deftly constructed over eight chapters, featuring every second year of Bod's life, from babyhood to adolescence.

Critic Reviews

‘Thrilling, elegant and joyously macabre. You will love it to death'
‘Suspenseful, well-told and touching'
‘A captivating piece of work, light as fresh grave dirt, haunting as the inscription on a tombstone'
‘Gaiman, who reads his own story with precision, has the knack of making you root harder for his good characters and cringe from the baddies; he also writes like an angel, trailing metaphors of blood and mists that re-echo through the tale'
