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 listeners age 8 to 12 but also adults who enjoy a perfect smart spooky listen.

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.

"A magnificently creepy story...for stouthearted kids who love a brush with the sinister, Coraline is spot on." (Kirkus Reviews)

After having loved the movie and all the artistry there, I had to check out the book... It was a very engaging story, and I really enjoyed it. Not too short, not too long, with the right amount of creepiness and dark humor. I would gladly recommend it, and am going to look into more from Neil Gaiman.

Loved the movie, so I had to give the book a shot.

Would you consider the audio edition of Coraline to be better than the print version?

I would consider the Coraline audio edition better than the print because the book comes to life through the music and voices used for each character. I am better able to imagine the world of Coraline than if I were just reading the book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character was the black cat in the story because it was nice to see Coraline have someone on her side against the other mother and he can be sarcastic and snarky with the way he speaks in riddles.

What does Neil Gaiman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Neil Gaiman brings imagination to the book. With him being the author he knows how he wants the characters to sound and how to use inflection to carry the story. He did a great job of helping the reader visualize the dull world of Coraline and the colorful world of the other parents.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not really, I had seen the movie so I knew how the book would pretty much go down. I was curious to see what was going to happen when Coraline went down into the basement when sent there by the "other mother."

Any additional comments?

While I was reading this book, I was wondering the whole time where the Wybie character was. I guess they invented him in the movie.

Neil Gaiman brings this book to life!

Easy listen, my 14, 10 and 7 year old all listened to it straight through in the car.

Favorite Neil Gaiman Story

My daughter urged me to get this one since ive read all his others. She was right about it being creepy for even a kids book. I felt the main character wasn't as developed as well as his others so I didn't get her motivation and drive.

I love when Neil Bauman reads his books.

What did you love best about Coraline?

If you need a short escape then Coraline is a story that can help you accomplish that escape. I liked the story and the fact the the author read his own work.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Coraline?

The most memorial moment is when you think all is well and there is still danger for Coraline to face and overcome.

Which character ??? as performed by Neil Gaiman ??? was your favorite?

Coraline, Neal Gaiman is great at developing children into substantial characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would have liked to listen to it in one sitting but even a short book like Coraline takes more time than I have to give all in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

Neal Gaiman has become one of my favorite authors for children's fiction/fantasy. Read or better yet listen to The Grave Yard Book for another sample.

Coraline is a great escape story

I first watched the movie when I was 7, but now as an older person, I quite enjoy the book, especially with the narrator at Neil Gaiman. It would definitely not be the same experience with a different Narrator. Neil just brings the story to life, and reads it as he wrote it to be. Will definitely listen to it again.

I just love this book.

Neil Gaiman brings back the amazing skill of performing one’s own work that is a mostly lost art, as I imagine Dickens may have done in the 19th century. The Tim Burton movie is good, but this is the definitive version of this great story.

The best imaginable version of a great, dark children’s story.

a Wonderful mix of creepy, some sort of a child's determination, and grim wonder. Good story overall.

Loved it
