  3. Gorey was definitely a master. Thanks for making this post. I found a couple of his books at the public library and I had almost forgotten to go check them out.
    Happy B-day, Mr. Gorey!

  4. Aw, I love him!!! Years ago I worked in a place where one of the supervisors loved Gorey, and he put a poster in his office of the Alphabet. The boss gave him shit and made him take it down because it referred to "Kate" (me) being struck with an axe. They thought I'd get scared or offended, lol. Shows how well they knew me.

  5. Gory is one of my favorite. Those Tinies are great. My favorite is 'N is for Nevelle who died of ennui' the picture of poor Neville looking out a tall window is so sad.
