New York Times bestselling and Newbery Medal-winning author Neil Gaiman’s modern classic,Coraline—also an Academy Award-nominated film

""Coraline discovered the door a little while after they moved into the house....""

When Coraline steps through a door to find another house strangely similar to her own (only better), things seem marvelous.

But there's another mother there, and another father, and they want her to stay and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.

Coraline will have to fight with all her wit and courage if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life.

Neil Gaiman's Coraline is a can't-miss classic that enthralls readers age 8 to 12 but also adults who enjoy a perfect smart spooky read.

Editorial review


By Haley Hill, Audible Editor

CORALINE BY NEIL GAIMAN IS A QUINTESSENTIAL DARK FANTASY

I attribute the bibliophile I am today to my early affinity for scary stories—which led me to check out Neil Gaiman’s Coraline from my elementary school library. My first ever stand-alone novel (I discovered my love of reading with R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps series), this terrifying children’s tale scared the living daylights out of me so successfully that I even commemorated conquering my fear of flying over the Atlantic Ocean in my early 20s by getting the Other Mother’s spindly fingers tattooed upon my arm. In my mind, I had travelled through a portal leading to the unknown and made it back alive, just like the story’s brave protagonist.

From the novel’s beginning, I found it easy to relate to Coraline. Just like her, I am an only child, which I believe led me to develop an active imagination during the many boring, lonesome moments when I would fantasize about making new friends from within the confines of my backyard. (If you, too, are yearning for a set of quirky companions to help occupy your time, look no further than this audiobook’s marvelous full-cast performance!) Likewise, throughout my childhood, I had frequent recurring nightmares which typically resulted in me getting separated from my family. (Disclaimer: I do not particularly believe that these dreams were caused by my lack of siblings.) As Coraline’s journey led her to a parallel universe where button-eyed doppelgängers of her parents threatened to trap her forever, I am certain that my own anxieties coincidentally helped to make this eerie tale feel all the more uncanny, as if I were witnessing my worst fears unfolding on the pages before me. Despite feeling disturbed at the time, I will forever be grateful to Neil Gaiman for first teaching me about the power of stories to reflect aspects of ourselves within others’ narratives.

To this day, I am still just as frightened by Coraline as I was when I was a child. (If you have seen Henry Selick’s stop-motion adaptation of the story, you know just how grotesque and unsettling the tale really is. And, if you have not yet experienced Neil Gaiman’s original work, prepare yourself for the spine-tingling scenes which the director deemed too disturbing to include in his 2009 film.) But now that I’m older, I find that this listen unnerves me in entirely unanticipated ways, as it now makes me worry that I have come closer than ever to resembling Coraline’s real parents, who struggle to prioritize having fun against their demanding adult responsibilities.

I love this story, and all of the characters in it. The book itself hooked me from the start and I read it more than once (it's a quick read). So I thought I would thoroughly enjoy listening to it, to hear the author's presentation of his quirky characters. The laid-back somewhat flat reading given by Gaiman probably worked for some, but for me, it flattened a 3-dimensional world into 2, taking some of the spark out of an otherwise great and unique story. I highly recommend the book, but the audiobook, only a 3 or very low 4. The movie was fun in 3D, too, and perfect in the hands of Nightmare Before Christmas' Tim Burton.

Better as a book than an audiobook

I am usually plaques by nightmares or depressing dreams. Falling asleep is not an easy thing for me. I don't know what it is about this story that is so appealing to me but it helps with that. It is by no means boring. It just helps to distract my brain enough with something interesting and imaginative to help me fall asleep. It sometimes helps with the nightmares as well. I almost wish audible had a repeat feature :)

....I was even a bit scared by it! What a great story...with an ending that didn't disappoint. I was expecting the ending to be a happy little fluffy ending but WAIT....there was more....how exciting and fabulous!!! Coraline was a wonderful and very smart heroine and the book had a lot of interesting and spooky and gooey and creepy twists and turns. It was so much fun to read that I decided to go out and check out the audio book at the library for my kids to listen to. How much fun was that to listen too???!!! Neil Gaiman narrates the book and he is wonderful.......just wait until you hear the rats sing.......creepy, creepy, creepy. My kids just ate it up.....they loved it and couldn't get enough of it!

This was a great young adult book!....

Didn't know that this was a book from Neil Gaiman up until recently. I knew of the movie but I wasn't a fan of Neil Gaiman didn't know who he was until I became an Audible fanatic. Listening to the book has given me the desire to see the film again. I enjoyed Neil's performance and his storytelling gift of his authorship.

Well, that was the most horrifying thing I’ve ever read. Written as a childrens’ book, this is something that’ll give everyone nightmares. The descriptions are so vivid that even those with little imagination will have no problem picturing the horrors contained within. I absolutely loved this book, even though I won’t sleep for the next few years. It’s probably best to keep this one away from children, though adults and horror lovers will rejoice in the macabre imagery. I loved it!

What a story!
