About this listen

Bloomsbury presents this unabridged edition of The Graveyard Book written and read by Neil Gaiman.

Winner of the Newbery Medal

When a baby escapes a murderer intent on killing the entire family, who would have thought it would find safety and security in the local graveyard?
Brought up by the resident ghosts, ghouls and spectres, Bod has an eccentric childhood learning about life from the dead. But for Bod there is also the danger of the murderer still looking for him – after all, he is the last remaining member of the family. A stunningly original novel deftly constructed over eight chapters, featuring every second year of Bod's life, from babyhood to adolescence. Will Bod survive to be a man?©2008 Neil Gaiman (P)2008 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
Horror Paranormal Paranormal & Supernatural

A lovely book and an even better narration!

Neil Gaiman does a great job of adding a theatrical element to his story. Made for a great listening session.

Loved it!

A really good book with great characters and thrilling sequences which are narrated with great passion and dedication by Neil Gaiman. A very fast paced book and you'll probably end up listening to all of it in one go. Loved it, recommend it and would also recommend you to have a look at other books by Neil Gaiman too.

Neil Gaiman gives a gaveyard LIFE.

This is a Neil Gaiman classic/masterpiece, from Bod to Silas to Mistreaa Owens Neil, the master storyteller, brings each character to life. The story is rivetting and keeps you on the edge, but it is also about the humanity of all those dead people. Superb reading for children and adults, who have not forgotten the children they once were. Another must-listen from Audible.

He does voices too!

Neil Gaiman has been my favourite author. And this is the first time I ever heard him narrate his book. That too one of my favourite books of all. It’s remarkable how he carries the audience through the words and the voices. Thank you for this amazing story.

Overall a good story worth listening to.

I loved the story. Good narration. I downloaded it for my 5 year old since it showed up in children's audiobook but it Contains little violence, so instead I ended up listening to it and was not disapointed at all. This story is definitely worth listening to.
Thank you.
