For fans of Ghosts and Hilo, New York Times bestselling author Cullen
Bunn and acclaimed artist Cat Farris deliver a fun, spooky, full-color
middle grade graphic novel about a supernatural adventure and
friendships that go beyond the grave.
Eleven-year-old Grey lives in the legend-haunted New England town of
Ander’s Landing, and he can’t help but feel like a pair of eyes is
watching his every move.
He discovers odd, gruesome bits and pieces from the graveyard that are
left for him as gifts like art carved from bones or jewelry made from
(hopefully not human) remains. Soon Grey is caught up in something
bigger than he could ever have imagined.
He finds himself drawn into a strange mystery involving a race of
reclusive subterranean creatures—ghouls, the eaters of the dead! Turns
out, his secret admirer is a ghoul named Lavinia. An unlikely
friendship forms between them. The only problem is, their friendship
breaks traditions—and the punishment is a fate worse than death.
In this thrilling and spooky middle grade graphic novel companion
to The Ghoul Next Door by New York Times bestselling author Cullen
Bunn and Cat Ferris, Lavinia and Grey team up again to solve the
town's mystery. Ever wake up in the middle of the night to awful
nightmares about vampires? When a mysterious blood bank rolls into
town, Grey can't help but get an eerie feeling. Could it be linked
to his nightmares about vampires? After some investigating, Grey
learns it's something more sinister than he could ever imagine . .
. and there's only one creature who can help him-Lavinia. Despite
the fact they are forbidden to talk to one another again, this
spooky mystery is bigger than any promises between the ghouls and
humans. This fun, lightly spooky adventure is a good Halloween read
but is also the perfect graphic novel read all year round. It's a
wonderful escape from everyday life, providing readers with a good
scare and plenty of laughter. The Ghoul Next Door was a Junior
Library Guild Gold Standard Selection and a Kids' Indie Next List
pick. "This fast-paced blend of humor and horror is essentially an
against-the-odds friendship story.," praised Kirkus.
