The Night Parade (2016) is a juvenile fiction debut novel by Kathryn Tanquary, a middle-grade author and teacher of English as a foreign language in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. Tanquary’s The Night Parade is reminiscent of the 2001 Japanese anime fantasy film Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki. It has also been likened to Neil Gaiman’s Coraline and Grimm's fairy tales.
