The Graveyard Book, Volume 2 by Neil Gaiman, P. Craig Russell

​Oh, I simply love this book. I’m usually a strong supporter of age-appropriate reading, and Gaiman has been to known to play fast and loose with it, veering from adult to YA to kids to selling YA as adult (Ocean at the End of the Line). And he gets away with it too because he’s a superb storyteller. And in this instance, because Graveyard Book is timeless.
Yes, it’s a story about a child and is technically for children, but it has that certain quality—the underlying moody darkness—that makes it suitable for adults too.
As long as you have some childlike wonder inside, you can enjoy this tale of a boy raised in a graveyard. It’s a terrific story, with intrigue and suspense and awesome, just awesome, characters. I absolutely love it.
And with a dream team of Gaiman/Russell behind the wheel, it’s a spectacular ride. Those two complement each other’s work perfectly and go together like peanut butter and jelly or bananas. It was an absolute pleasure to revisit a beloved story again, this time in a graphic novel form. Recommended.
