Description

The title of this second volume of Edward Gorey's collected works stems from the word amphigory, meaning a nonsense verse. As always, Gorey's cross-hatched pen and ink drawings are perfectly suited to his oddball, macabre verse and prose. Many of Gorey's tales involve untimely deaths and dreadful mishaps - sometimes with a lighthearted touch, and sometimes not so much. An eccentric, funny and peculiar book for the uninitiated - or die-hard Gorey fans.

Author Biography:

Edward Gorey, known for his unsettling pen-and-ink drawings with a Victorian flair, wrote and illustrated such books as The Doubtful Guest, The Gashlycrumb Tinies, and The Headless Bust. He was also the illustrator for the bestselling Lewis Barnavelt series by John Bellairs. Gorey was a very successful set and costume designer, earning a Tony Award for his Broadway production of Dracula. His works dating back to the 1950s have been collected in the Amphigorey series of books. He died in 2000.
