The Graveyard Book

Illustrated by Dave McKean.

"The boundaries are always there—between the graveyard and the world beyond, between life and death, and the crossing of them."
-- Neil Gaiman

Hear this tragic tale: a sleeping family, a talented murderer, and an adventurous toddler -- orphaned, but not assassinated. Small and alone, by accident and luck he escapes the scene of the crime and climbs a grassy hill to safety. At the top of the hill the boy finds a fence, and on the other side, a dark, quiet place.

And what is to become of him?

Subterranean Press is proud to present the Limited Edition of Neil Gaiman's new novel, a masterwork that will appeal to both children and adults. They are still working with artist Dave McKean on the specifics, but we can tell you that their edition will be larger than the trade hardcover, printed on Mohawk Superfine, bound with an Iris cloth spine and marbled papers over the boards, with premium endsheets.

Needless to say, their edition will be printed in two colors throughout, with differences in illustration and design from the trade hardcover, and housed in a custom slipcase.

Limited to 500 numbered copies, bound in cloth and marbled paper, slipcased, signed by author and artist and sold out at the publisher

Lettered: 26 copies, signed by author and artist, hand bound in the finest materials, with an original remarque by Dave McKean in each copy, housed in a custom traycase.
