The best thing about this book is its mood. Feels like a cloud of mist on All Hallow's Eve. 
 (BTW, the book geek in me found it extremely intriguing that Neil Gaiman got a tour of a cemetery from Audrey Niffenegger and stayed in Tori Amos' house in Ireland. He knows how to make the right friends, fo sho.) 
 Favorite Quotes: 
 And then the music stopped and there was silence in the square, a muffled silence, like the silence of falling snow, all noise swallowed by the night and the bodies in the square, no one stamping or shuffling, scarcely even breathing. 
 I...am precisely what I am, and nothing more. I am, as you say, not alive. But if I am ended, I shall simply cease to be. My kind are, or we are not.
