As you may have heard, our graveyard’s newest resident is a living boy with a curious disposition and a tendency to wander. Frankly, it’s a marvel he’s survived this long; but we do our best to keep an eye on him. We confess, it’s something of a full time job.

Would you like to take a turn at watching him? The cemetery may be formally closed to new burials, but for the right sort of soul…exceptions can be made.

Let us persuade you to peek at our registry.

You’ll find this special section bound exclusively in the limited edition of The Graveyard Book from Subterranean Press, noting the names of all the dearly departed spirits who call the graveyard home. These are Bod’s family members and friends–a circle of watchful loved ones who protect him from harm of all the likely (and unlikely) sorts.

We invite you to imagine yourself listed therein.

Eligible shoppers who order this limited edition direct from Subterranean Press will see their names automatically added to our exclusive registry. This is much more than an unprecedented chance to find your name alongside your favorite characters, and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to appear in a Neil Gaiman book–it represents your personal commitment to Bod’s continued safety and well-being.

Everyone needs a final resting place eventually. Why not come home to Bod, and the Owens, and the rest of our graveyard family? The company is exceptional and the accommodations are superb. We promise, you’ll like what you see.

So come spend eternity buried in your favorite book. Quantities are limited and space is going fast, but prime locations are still available. Could we interest you in a plot? A cremation niche? A crypt? How about a lovely columned mausoleum, festooned with statuary?

Your afterlife is much too important to leave to chance, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at immortality. Won’t you take advantage of it?

The Graveyard Book will be available later this year in two unique editions:

Limited: 500 signed numbered copies: $250
Lettered: 26 signed deluxe bound copies, housed in a custom traycase, with a Dave McKean remarque: $900

  1. Am I right in reading this that if you have already pre-ordered the book directly from Sub-Press that your name will appear within the book?

  2. Yes, everyone who’s has already ordered will automatically have their names added to the list.

    Best,

    Bill

  3. Can’t afford it - never mind - maybe I could get Mr Gaiman to write my name in it!

Reviews

“The Graveyard Book manages the remarkable feat of playing delightful jazz riffs on Kipling’s classic Jungle Books. One might call this book a small jewel, but in fact it’s much bigger within than it looks from the outside.” - Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn

“The Graveyard Book is endlessly inventive, masterfully told and, like Bod himself, too clever to fit into only one place. This is a book for everyone. You will
love it to death.” - Holly Black, co-creator of The Spiderwick Chronicles
