The Graveyard Book is far spookier than anything that came from the mind of Kipling or Travers, as you would expect from the writer who came up with the equally creepy children’s bestseller Coraline. As with Coraline, and any good “crossover writer” who engages both adults and children, Gaiman’s skill in The Graveyard Book is to imply a lot with a little. He doesn’t spell out the horror but lays the clues and leaves the rest to the shadows of the reader’s imagination.
