Graveminder, by Melissa Marr (of Wicked Lovely fame), is so incredibly creepy. I almost wish I had saved it for October. Almost. This is not your done, and redone supernatural novel. This is a new one you haven't read before. This is one you might have had a scary dream about but couldn't quite remember in the morning. It's like the Corpse Bride meets Sleepy Hollow with a lot more secrets. The land of the dead that exists in Graveminder really does remind me of the Corpse Bride... only without all the rotting and the worms and spiders. It's a more elegant and considerably less morbid place. In Graveminder all the morbid bits happen on our side. You think that you're going to be (at least) a little frightened by all the dead folks, and you probably will be. But you will probably kind of want to give them a hug, too. They can't help it they're dead. Resist the urge, though. They bite.6 of 6 toes!
And just because it's fun, here's a Corpse Bride video set to Kate Nash music. :)
