Coraline

    (HarperCollins, 2002)
™ and ©2002 Dave McKean and Neail Gaiman

Author Neil Gaiman’s ability to combine a childlike sense of wonder with nightmarish horror was one of the qualities that hooked readers to his Sandman series. The dark fantasy of Sandman has echoes in this novel, a children’s book about a young girl, Coraline, who enters a door into another house occupied by a mother and father who won’t allow her to leave. The illustrations by Dave McKean, the man behind Sandman’s Gothic-styled covers, vividly captures the fairy-tale feel of Gaiman’s prose.
