A happy, naive family enters the Evil Garden (free admission!) to
spend a sunny afternoon in its inviting landscape, lush with exotic
trees and flowers. They soon realize their mistake, as harrowing
sounds and evidence of foul play emerge. When humongous hairy bugs,
famished carnivorous plants, ferocious fruit-guarding bears, and a
sinister strangling snake take charge, the family's ominous
feelings turn to full-on panic but where's the exit?
Edward Gorey leads us through this nefarious garden with a light
step. His unmistakable drawings paired with engaging couplets
produce giggles, not gasps. Perhaps "The Evil Garden" is a morality
tale; perhaps it's simply an enigmatic entertainment. Whatever the
interpretation, it's a prime example of the iconic storytelling
genius that is Edward Gorey.
