Awesome compilation!!. Sharon A. Hutchinson said In Gorey Heaven!. What a wonderful compilation of the works of this unusual and extremely gifted artist! While Charles Addams is a household name, that of Edward Gorey still brings looks of puzzlement whenever it comes up in conversation. I personally feel he has never received the acclaim justly due him, but then again, his works certainly will not be to everyone's taste. At times his stories are beyond comprehension, but perhaps that was his intention--to leave us guessing. Susan Bultitude said Eccentric and entertaining. I have enjoyed all of Edward Gorey's books. I love the art and the hilarious names of characters and story titles. I chose this as my first to collect but intend getting the other Amphigorey books at a later date.These books would not be everyone's "cup of tea" but readers who enjoy somewhat macabre and weird books should enjoy these.
