This Audio version of the Graveyard book narrated by the author, master storyteller, Neil Gaiman is creepy and delicious! Oooooooh, spooky. In the opening chapter there is a murder. Make that three. A family, gone in three heartbeats. And an escape. The baby, a toddler really, who toddles out of the house away from the gruesome scene. Down the street and through a railed fence. Into the graveyard. Taken under the protection of the residents, who shield him from the monster who hunts. And here he is raised, by the ghosts, and a vampire, and a werewolf. They love him, and nurture him, and teach him, and train him. For one day the monster will be back and he must be ready. This book is beautifully written, suspenseful, and humorous in turn. Neil Gaiman himself doubted he was a good enough writer to pen this book. I am here to tell you that his misgivings were misguided.
