The Wolves in the Walls

Author: Neil Gaiman
Illustrator: Dave McKean
Publisher: Bloomsbury

Two masters of the graphic novel for adults have created this picture book for all ages. Lucy is convinced there are wolves in the walls of her house, but no-one in her family believes her. Then, of course, one night…

The story in this very contemporary book, with illustrations blending collage, photographs and drawn and painted images, has a pattern and shape reminiscent of traditional stories. It’s a scary story laced with humour that keeps you returning for that frisson of fear.
