His intricately drawn and subtly horror-tinged stories were massively influential.Īmphigorey, a collection of fifteen of Gorey’s best-known books, allows new readers to discover his work relatively inexpensively. These fifteen titles, published between 19, feature stories told in cross-hatched pictures and (mostly) rhyming couplets, generously spaced in a small hardcover book.
He designed sets and costumes for Broadway theatre productions (some based on his own books) and illustrated for publications such as the New Yorker and the New York Times. Edward Gorey (1925-2000) is the author of over one hundred books, including The Gashlycrumb Tinies, The Doubtful Guest and The Unstrung Harp.
