I received a free digital copy via NetGalley of the 20th anniversary edition which is released today. It included bonus material including letters between Neil Gaiman and Alice Cooper, drafts, and original sketches of the story. The digital format for this graphic novel made it a little difficult to read. I had to zoom in to read the text which pixelated the art, and it was difficult to flip back and forth to read panels that extended 2 pages.

Ask anyone who knows me what my favorite month is, and they will tell you it's October. I am a Halloween girl, through and through. I love the leashes changing color, the latex smell of rubber masks and costumes, the bags and bags of candy, and the endless marathon of horror movies and Halloween music.

I picked up this book on NetGalley because I love graphic novels and Neil Gaiman, and the setting is between All Hallow's Eve and Halloween. I devoured it in one sitting. The book has been out for years so there isn't much for me to say on it, except that it follows a young boy named Steven who is captivated by a ghostly theatre and its strange "director" (made in Alice Cooper's image). Neil Gaiman and Alice Cooper did an amazing job with the art and creep factor on this. As is usual with graphic novels, I wish there had been more depth as it felt rather quickly paced, but the story is wonderful and haunting and makes a good read for getting in the Halloween spirit.

I'm not really a bonus material kind of person, but if you are, I highly recommend getting the 20th Anniversary edition as it is packed to bursting with extra pages of background and behind-the-scenes development.
