I'd read this before but remembered almost nothing about it so it was fun to come back to this story. It's brilliantly creepy and weird and it definitely would have scared me a bit as a child. Gaiman's writing is great and I also loved Chris Riddell's illustrations which I hadn't seen before.

Coraline is one of those rare books that I would recommend listening to instead of simply reading, thanks to the melodic, hilarious at times, always creepy as hell narration from Neil Gaiman. Returning to it evokes the same masterful sense of disturbance and profound resilience that makes Coraline stand out among the rapidly growing genre of children's horror -- though I wouldn't say it’s only for children anymore. Coraline is truly for anyone vulnerable to independently articulate hands and the looming prospect of buttons for eyes.
