Product Description
Michael Paris has inherited a plot in the remote town of Raven Hollow. As he arrives, he gets to find out what a doozie that is. He's basically inherited a cemetery that the villagers want razed! Why? It's haunted with apparently frightening creatures putting a curse on the whole town! But when Paris actually gets to meet some of the denizens of his inherited headache, it turns out they ain't all that bad (the vamp, in fact, is quite cute) and maybe the evil is not where it may seem... Collects the first 4-issue story arc of this best-selling increasingly popular series.

 Solid beginning., 2008-10-10
Richard Moore, Boneyard, vol. 1 (Nantier Beall Minoustchine, 2002)
Michael Paris' grandfather died and left him land in the secluded town of Raven Hollow. When he gets there, intending to do nothing but sell it to the town and go on his merry way, he finds out that the land is actually a cemetery, and that its inhabitants-- some of whom are not at all dead-- would prefer the town not get their hands on it, since the mayor wants to tear the cemetery down and put up a shopping mall. Now Michael has a dilemma-- go ahead and sell to the town, or take over his grandfather's caretaking job, and perhaps get himself involved with Abby, the attractive vampire who's in charge of the boneyard's undead? An interesting beginning, though I'm not entirely sold on the rather blocky artwork. Can't wait to see where this one's going to go. ***

 Loved it!, 2007-04-28
Michael Paris inherited a lot of land from his grandfather when he died. Paris traveled to where this land was, where he planned to sign the land over to the town. Paris had car problems and had to ditch his car and hitch a ride with a passer-by. When the guy refused to bring Paris into the town, Paris knew something was up. To Paris' shock and amazement there was a crowd waiting for his arrival. The mayor of the town welcomed Paris and asked him to sign the land over right then and there. Abbey, a vampire, told Paris that he should not sign the land over because it was a graveyard and the home of many creatures. Paris told everyone that he would decide what to do the next day, and he went to his hotel room. Paris was awoken by a knock at the window, and to his surprise he saw Abbey, outside his window, hanging upside-down. Paris spent the knight with Abbey and all of the creatures that lived in the graveyard. Paris returned to his hotel room and woke up the next morning to the town folk celebrating and destroying the graveyard. What happened next changed everything.
The pictures in this graphic novel are amazing. They helped to illustrate what was happening through the story. The graphics are the novel, and the words that go along with the pictures explain the story quite well.

Playful Halloween, 2006-04-16
The book description does well enough explaining, but I'll say that I enjoyed this book. Moore's characters are engaging and winning in their own way. There's a sensuality to his style that just makes me come back to the books again and again. Great job!

A Big Book of Boneyard, 2003-10-02
What would you do if your grandfather died and left you some land? What would you do if the land was in a town that is always beneath a dark cloud? What would you do if the land was a graveyard? What if the graveyard was inhabited by a collection of supernatural beings? And what if the local sheriff has rallied the town into wanting to destroy the property?Well, it probably won't happen to you but it does to Michael Paris, star of this wonderful dark comedy. Clean black and white illustrations and unique characters really help move this story along. Right from the start we are rooting for Michael and the boneyard inhabitants. The story ends in a good fashion (no silly rabbit out of hat ending here) and leaves the reader wanting more Moore. If you like this one, you will also like Moore's Far West.

 Why don't my relatives leave me graveyards when they die?, 2002-10-14
This may be the funniest graphic novel that I've read in a LONG time! One of my friends brought it home from a honeymoon trip and it's been making the rounds ever since. Abbey is the coolest vampire chick I've seen in ages. The scene with her & Paris and the phone book made us all howl for hours. Buy this book- you won't regret it!
