It's difficult to say what The Iron Tonic is about, although it is "known the skating pond conceals a family of enormous eels," and that "the light is fading from the day. The rest is darkness and dismay." Finally, though, The Iron Tonic could be seen as Edward Gorey's version of a winter afternoon in one of the great Russian novels of the nineteenth century.
Inspired by Samuel Foote's poem, "The Grand Panjandrum," The Object-Lesson presents a stunning series of seemingly random and unrelated events. A missing artificial limb, ghostly spectres, and the statue of Corrupted Endeavour all have a place in this enigmatic tale, which combines elements of French surrealism, Japanese haiku, and lots of good fun. With its humorous obscurity and puzzling intrigues, The Object-Lesson delights and provokes.
In this enigmatic, surreal, wonderfully entertaining tale, three mysterious figures set out from Willowdale, traveling by handcar. On the way to nowhere in particular they pass a number of odd characters and observe a series of baffling phenomena, from a house burning down in a field to a palatial mansion perched precariously on a bluff.At once deeply vexing and utterly hilarious, darkly mysterious and amusingly absurd, The Willowdale Handcar is vintage Edward Gorey.
Brings together seventeen illustrated nonsense compositions, including "Epiplective Bicycle," "The Utter Zoo," "The Blue Aspic," "The Sopping Thursday," and "The Glorious Nosebleed"
This follow-up to the darkly humorous Amphigorey is wittier, more macabre, and more wondrous than ever. Master illustrator and iconic gothic storyteller Edward Gorey gives his fans 20 more nonsensically and mind-bending tales that draw fans and unsuspecting newcomers into a world only he can create. Gorey's pen-and-ink drawings spur the imagination and satisfy fans of art and the good storytelling. Some of the 20 stories in this collection include: "The Beastly Baby""The Pious Infant" "The Evil Garden" "The Inanimate Tragedy""The Osbick Bird""The Deranged Cousins" "The Abandoned Sock""Story for Sara""A Limerick"
Fifteen works by the American artist and author provide a journey into a macabre world
The inhabitants of the ever-so-popular Haunted Tea-Cosy return in a new holiday tale. As we wander off with Edward Gorey into the next millennium our reasons for being here are far from clear.
Gathered for the annual charity fete at Backwater Hall in Mortshire, the host Lord Wherewithal is dead, Horace Gallop cavorts with Victoria Scone, and someone has offended decorum by disembowelling a stuffed thisby belonging to the Earl of Thump in this the latest dark vintage offering from Gorey. Come join the fun!
