This is a quietly haunting, beautifully elegaic ode to life and death. Tim Burton wishes he had this good a grasp of the Gothic.

A great read. At moments, I really had to try and use my imagination to the best of my ability to really understand what was happening.

It was a slow burn, but it’s builds up and the story just gets better up to the very end. I loved following Bod through his adventures in the graveyard. Bittersweet ending.
