My close friend, who I met at our medical office job and is now also my editor and agent, let me borrow this book and promised that I would love it. She said it was right down my ally...and she was right!

I finished it a couple weeks ago and just haven't gotten around to creating a review yet. First of all, this book has some incredible illustrations by Dave McKean. I found it quite nice, actually, to be going along with the story, getting intense with the reading, and suddenly there is a well-timed break in the tension to illustrate something that may have been a little difficult to imagine or a little more intriguing with the illustration than without it.

This adventurous story begins with an intriguing hook (which you can preview above). A man quietly makes his way through the house, killing all of its occupants except one. This one, barely a toddler, escapes him, and finds himself near a graveyard whose inhabitants (ghosts, mostly) take him under their wing and shield him from the dangerous world beyond the graveyard gate.
