It’s rather ghastly to think that the child was not yet five.” A wonderful treat for the morbidly curious among us. ![]() This is a truly splendid gothic treat that showcases Gorey’s bleak humor, vast imagination, and incredible illustrations. Probably one of Gorey’s most well known works, this is an alphabet book with a twist as Gorey takes a lot of delight in describing the gruesome fates of the Gashlycrumb tinies. “A is for Amy who fell down the stairs, B is for Basil assaulted by bears” To celebrate Gorey, we’ve selected seven of his most gruesome and great stories for your perusing pleasure. Gorey was vastly talented artist who made his name illustrating a wide variety of books including Bram Stoker’s Dracula, while also creating his own macabre short works which gained a huge following of young children. ![]() Now, with the release of today’s trailer for Eli Roth’s upcoming The House with a Clock in Its Walls–an adaptation of a book by John Bellairs, with illustrations by Gorey–the illustrator’s unique and wonderful gothic sensibilities will likely reach an entirely new audience. ![]() Edward Gorey is one of the most fantastical, creepy, and beloved illustrators in American history. ![]()
