“Emphasizes the function of dark fairy tales as antidotes to the sanitization of the fairy tale most often associated with the work of the Disney Corporation…makes a good starting point”—International Research Society for Children’s Literature (IRSCL); “Gaiman’s Newberry-winning The Graveyard Book is characteristic of the bold stirring-up of suspense and horror in readers’ sensibilities that animates The Gothic Fairy Tale in Young adult Literature…rich in interpretative potential”—Gramarye: The Journal of the Sussex Centre for Folklore, Fairy Tales and Fantasy
