Příběh dítěte, jež vychoval hřbitov. Nikdo Owens, přezdívaný Nik, se narodil jako obyčejný kluk. A obyčejným by i zůstal, kdyby jeho rodinu kdosi nevyvraždil a kdyby se Nika neujali a nevychovávali ho duchové, vlkodlaci a další záhrobní bytosti, včetně jeho ochránce, který nepatří do světa živých ani mrtvých. Nik nesmí opouštět hřbitov, venku mu totiž hrozí nebezpečí v podobě vraha jeho rodiny – člověka jménem Jack. Přesto na hřbitově zažije řadu dobrodružství – poradí si s pradávným, modře potetovaným Piktem, projde branou do opuštěného města ghúlů nebo se setká s podivným, děsivým Ševelem.
