The Dangerous Alphabet by Neil Gaiman illustrated by Gris Grimly

Two siblings sneak out of the house to seek a treasure underneath their city.  The story is told via the order of the alphabet (but do not trust the order . . . the observant reader will notice a mistake-on purpose by the author!).    The illustrations include objects that begin with the "starring" letter.
This books is, in my opinion, very gruesome and celebrates death, ghosts, evil.  I did not share it with my boys.
