Nobody first arrives at the graveyard (and is taken under the protection of the ghosts and vampire that reside there) as a toddler the night that a killer named Jack slaughters the rest of his family, including his preteen sister.

It’s constructed as a set of linked stories - Gaiman loosely modeled the structure after Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book - that tell the childhood adventures of Nobody Owens, a boy who grows up in an English graveyard. The Graveyard Book is a children’s novel by popular author Neil Gaiman.
