A collector's edition of the most famous vampire novel of all time,
illustrated with the artwork of Edward Gorey. This collector's
edition of Bram Stoker's Dracula is illustrated with artwork that
Edward Gorey created for his stage designs for the novel's Broadway
stage adaptation. The book also features an introduction and
appendices by renowned fantasy editor Marvin Kaye.
In his Preface to "A Christmas Carol", Charles Dickens wrote that
he tried "to raise the Ghost of an Idea" with readers and trusted
that it would "haunt their house pleasantly". In December 1997, 154
Christmases later, the "New York Times Magazine" asked its own
Edward Gorey to refurbish this enduring morality tale. The result
is this "dispirited and distasteful diversion for Christmas".
Illustrations.
The perfectly creepy, amusing book that inspired Tim Burton, Neil
Gaiman and Guillermo Del Toro.
A is for AMY who fell down the stairs
B is for BASIL assaulted by bears
C is for CLARA who wasted away...
... and so it goes on, an A to Z of poor little orphans and their
untimely ends. (Right up to the unfortunate ZILLA, who simply drank too
much gin.)
This collector's edition of Edward Gorey's pocket-sized masterpiece
comes in a special slipcase with ribbon.
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.
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.
An Edward Gorey classic back in print after four decades.
Emblus Fingby's life was changed forever with the unexpected
arrival of the osbick bird. The two became inseparable companions.
Their curious relationship came to an end only with the utmost
display of loyalty. In The Osbick Bird, Edward Gorey examines the
uncertainties of life with his signature humor and
illustrations.
Known as a central figure in English literature, Hilaire Belloc
produced a number of stunning, funny, and clever admonishments for
children. The tales in this volume, illustrated by the inimitable
Edward Gorey, contain instructive lessons for almost
everyone.
For those children prone to wandering off from their caretakers,
there is the story of a certain young Jim, "who ran away from his
nurse and was eaten by a lion." Those known to stretch the truth
will hardly be comforted by the tale of Matilda, "who told lies and
was burned to death." And as for those of us--and our children--who
tend to the vainglorious, there is the sobering tale of Godolphin
Horne, "who was cursed with the sin of pride and became a
boot-black."
Witty, brilliant, and strikingly irreverent.
A new, small-format edition of one of Gorey's "dark masterpieces of
surreal morality" (Vanity Fair) - a witty, disquieting journey
through the alphabet.
"The Haunted Looking Glass" is the late Edward Gorey's selection of
his favorite tales of ghosts, ghouls, and grisly goings-on. It
includes stories by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, M. R. James,

art of making the flesh creep, all accompanied by Gorey's
inimitable illustrations.
