The Graveyard Book: Difference between revisions

* [[Harsh Life Revelation Aesop]]: Nobody Owens and his adoptive family state that the dead can't hurt you, but the living very well can. Most of the ghosts and creatures that Bod encounters while growing up are [[Ambiguously Evil]] at worst, with the Sleer seeking a Master to protect and the ghouls genuinely thinking that taking Bod to their land will give him a better life. It's the living humans in the town and school that pose a bigger thread, from the pawnshop owner that tries to kidnap Bod when he attempts to sell some artifacts to buy Liza Hempstock a headstone, to the bullies that force kids to shoplift CDs and blackmail them. That's not even to mention the Man Jack, the knife man who killed Bod's family and wants to finish the job with Bod himself.
