Neil Gaiman’s ‘Graveyard’ Tells The Story of a Boy Raised By the Dead
I have yet to behold the wonder that is Neil Gaiman. I’ve heard through word of mouth how good he is but I have yet to read any of his books. However, I do own a few. CNN did a interview with the author about his new book, Graveyard, which is inspired by Kipling’s The Jungle Book. Instead of being raised by wild animals, the character in ‘Graveyard’ is raised by a “vampire, a werewolf and a witch”. Hey, this sounds good. Even better, it’s available in “e” format.

About the author
My name is Keishon and I'm an avid reader of romance, crime fiction and graphic novels. I tend to read all over the map and prefer the older romances from the 90's rather than the new romances of today. I enjoy reading and discussing books and I hope you enjoy your visit here. Some of my favorite authors include but are not limited to Laura Kinsale, Penelope Williamson, Kathleen Eagle, Michael Connelly, Julia Spencer-Fleming and my latest crush is on Nordic crime novelist, Jo Nesbø (start with The Redbreast if interested).
