Coraline is pretty intense.

A quote from Neil Gaiman about his editor's daughter, who served as the book's first audience

I told her, "You know, we kind of have you to thank for all this, because you weren’t scared by it." And she said, "Actually, I was terrified. But I wanted to know what happened next. I knew if I let anybody know I was scared, I wouldn’t find out."
