About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Coraline by Neil Gaiman, read by Dawn French.

When Coraline moves with her parents to a new house she is fascinated by the fact that their 'house' is infact only half of the house! Divided in to flats years before there is a brick wall behind a door where once there was a corridor and one day it is corridor again down which the intrepid Coraline wanders. And so a nightmare-ish mystery begins that takes Coraline in to the arms of counterfeit parents and a life that isn't quite right. Can Coraline get out? Can she find her real parents? Will life ever be the same again?

🗝🔮🚪👻 They're go na get ya .......RUN!

Don't go there . Don't open the door. .....got ya! I made the mistake thinking relax with a children's book for a change. Can't be too scary a tale Dibleys vicar is telling the story. My heart is still racing after 2 days and I can't look at our old moggy with out thinking he is going to start speaking.
I found myself wide eyed with hands gripping onto the pillow. Wonderfully narrated. A children's story for all ages. Just when you thinking is over and your beta blockers have prevented your heart from bursting out your chest. Take a breath THE HAND with a much needed manicure comes a tap tap tapping........wanting some.....one.🗝👻

Not sure what’s creepier

It’s a great story, but I honestly cannot tell which is creepier - book or movie. I love Gaiman’s writing and know I’m going to listen to this again.

My granddaughter was excited every time we went in the car because she got to listen to more of this story!

Great book! My 11 year old granddaughter has seen the movie and had nightmares but the book had her excited and eager to hear what happened next! Listening to the book actually helped her to leave those fears from the movie behind and she was able to watch again, after hearing the book, with new eyes. Fantastic!
Really enjoyed the narrators style of reading and will look out for more with her narrating.
Thanks Audible.

Do not expect the movie...

This is very different from the movie, but still interesting and spooky - if I didn't know the movie I would still love this. And Dawn French....
