“Now I’m writing a children’s book, which begins with four pages of a serial killer walking around a house with a knife covered in blood, having killed all the family but the baby, and he’s trying to find the baby. It’s going to be called The Graveyard book, and if you remember The Jungle Book where a child gets lost in the jungle and is brought up by animals, well this baby gets lost in a graveyard and is brought up by dead people. Learing to do all the things that dead people do!”
— Neil Gaiman, from the current Three Monkeys interview.
