Win a signed copy of The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman [closed]

When a baby escapes a murderer intent on killing the entire family, who would have thought it would find safety and security in the local graveyard? Brought up by the resident ghosts, ghouls and spectres, Bod has an eccentric childhood learning about life from the dead. But for Bod there is also the danger of the murderer still looking for him – after all, he is the last remaining member of the family. A stunningly original novel deftly constructed over eight chapters, featuring every second year of Bod’s life, from babyhood to adolescence. Will Bod survive to be a man?

We have seven copies of the children’s edition of The Graveyard Book, illustrated by Chris Riddell and signed by Neil Gaiman himself to be won.

All you have to do to win is tell us, in no more than thirty words… which person’s ghost would you like to meet in a graveyard and why? It can be a famous person, a fictional character or anyone else. The seven most entertaining and interesting responses will win copies of the book and be published here on Bookbitz!
