Looking Forward To This Release

 
The Graveyard Book Volume 1, to be released July 29th by HarperCollins, is a new work. It is not just a version of the New York Times Best-selling The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman that has been handled competently in a way that does justice to the original and simply allows you to experience the story in an alternate format, though of course, it tells the story of our protagonist Nobody ‘Bod’ Owens and his adoption into the afterlife of a protective cemetery in a recognizable way. To some extent we, as readers, do expect a good adaptation to be faithful to the original text, and that can often reach a fever pitch if we have emotional ties to the first experience we had of a story or characters.
