About the contributors

The souls of the ghost children are set free and Coraline’s parents have no recollection of any of the incidents that occurred in the parallel universe. Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now. To continue shopping, enter the characters as they are shown I was looking forward to Coraline, and I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I was enthralled. This is a marvellously strange and scary book.' Philip Pullman

The reason you cannot see the Mouse Circus," said the man upstairs, "is that the mice arenot yet ready and rehearsed. Also, they refuse to play the songs I have written for them. All the songs I have written for the mice to play go oompah oompah. But the white mice will only play toodle oodle, like that. I am thinking of trying them on different types of cheese." In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close. One day, little Caroline, when they are all ready, everyone in the whole world will see the wonders of my mouse circus. You ask me why you cannot see it now. Is that what you asked me?"Schwartz, Dana (18 October 2017). "Neil Gaiman would love to see a Sandman parody on The Simpsons". Entertainment Weekly . Retrieved 29 October 2017.

The button eyes of the Other Mother and the Other Father are the main distinguishing features between the parallel universe and the original universe. The buttons represent the inhumanness of the Other Mother and her evil nature. They prevent Coraline from understanding the Other Mother beyond a certain extent and thereby provide a more menacing air to the beldam. The buttons are also representative of the loss of virtue and morality, as Coraline is expected to sew on the button eyes onto her own face by the Other Mother. This book will send a shiver down your spine, out through your shoes and into a taxi to the airport. It has the delicate horror of the finest fairy tales, and it is a masterpiece. And you will never think about buttons in quite the same way again'It's not the mist, or the cat that always seems to be watching her, nor the signs of danger that Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, her new neighbours, read in the tea leaves. It's the other house – the one behind the old door in the drawing room. Coraline is constantly bored and looking for ways to spice up her everyday life. She often turns towards her imagination to make her life better. Once, when she was asked where she had gone, Coraline makes up a story about alien abduction that is much more exciting than the mundane reality. The fact that Coraline has a vivid imagination calls the truth of her adventure into question. Did she really meet with the Other Mother in the parallel universe or was it all just her imagination? Nail Gaiman has presented a marvelous read with his book Coraline and with his amazing artistic work, P. Craig Russell has successfully brought the story into life with Coraline Graphic Novel.

the concluding passage of a piece or movement, typically forming an addition to the basic structure. 2. a concluding event, remark, or section. A virtuoso adaptation…a master of fantastical landscapes, Russell sharpens the realism of his imagery, preserving the humanity of the characters and heightening the horror, even as Gaiman’s concise storytelling ratchets up the eeriness.”— Booklist (starred review)At the end of the corridor is a parallel universe that looks just like Coraline’s own. She meets her Other Mother (the beldam) and Other Father. When Coraline steps through a door to find another house strangely similar to her own (only better), things seem marvelous. In the flat above Coraline's, under the roof, was a crazy old man with a big moustache. He told Coraline that he was training a mouse circus. He wouldn't let anyone see it.
