“Because…when you’re scared but you still do it anyway, that’s brave.”
I first stumbled across this book at a book fair when I was in elementary school. I read it, was seriously terrified, and then begged my mom to throw it out. Fast forward about 8 years and the kids I babysit want to desperately watch the Coraline movie. I sit to watch with them and am not only impressed with its creativity, but am hit with such a blast of nostalgia. I went home and lamented to my mom that I had her throw the book away cause I wanted to read it as “an adult.” She went down to the basement and voila! There was my copy. It’s been one of my favorite books ever since. Neil Gaiman - it’s been an honor having you play such a huge role in my love for reading and for horror.
I splurged and bought myself this gorgeous edition from LitJoy. I highly recommend any fan of Coraline to do the same!
