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.

This book combines two of Gorey's Thoughtful Alphabets (long out of print) in one volume never before published in hardcover. In each, Gorey's twenty-six-word stories (wherein the first word begins with A, the last with Z) weave a tale of suspense and intrigue; the story proceeds as the alphabet progresses.

*Gorey's deft and witty use of language is apparent even in these twenty-six-word stories.

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.

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.

A collector's edition of the most famous vampire novel of all time, illustrated with the artwork of Edward Gorey.

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.

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.

This story tale of petite Charlotte Sophia's catastrophic, short life is classic Gorey. The poor child is orphaned and treated mercilessly by schoolmates and ruffians alike, and only barely survives--for a time, anyway--bythe skin of her baby teeth. Even her doll suffers a gruesome end. The little girl's journey is perfect fodder for Edward Gorey's brilliant pinwork, so detailed and perfectly wrought that it's hard to believe he could master these images at such a small size (the illustrations reproduced in the book are the same size as his original drawings). The Hapless Child is widely regarded as one of Gorey's best books; happily it is now back in print after an absence of many years, so that we can all enjoy weeping for Charlotte Sophia again...and again, and again.
