SynopsisThis follow-up to the darkly humorous Amphigorey is wittier, more macabre, and more wondrous than ever. Master illustrator and iconic gothic storyteller Edward Gorey gives his fans 20 more nonsensically and mind-bending tales that draw fans and unsuspecting newcomers into a world only he can create. Gorey's pen-and-ink drawings spur the imagination and satisfy fans of art and the good storytelling. Some of the 20 stories in this collection include: "The Beastly Baby" "The Pious Infant" "The Evil Garden" "The Inanimate Tragedy" "The Osbick Bird" "The Deranged Cousins" "The Abandoned Sock" "Story for Sara" "A Limerick", The title of this second volume of Edward Gorey's collected works stems from the word amphigory, meaning a nonsense verse. As always, Gorey's cross-hatched pen and ink drawings are perfectly suited to his oddball, macabre verse and prose. Many of Gorey's tales involve untimely deaths and dreadful mishaps - sometimes with a lighthearted touch, and sometimes not so much. An eccentric, funny and peculiar book for the uninitiated - or die-hard Gorey fans.

Dark and Lighthearted?......Good strangeness
This is a collection of Edward Gory Books compiled into one big.... actually his second big, easy to access collection of "graphic novels" ....before there were graphic novels and this is by no means a "comic" book either. Strange tales with whimsical illustrations and often strange if, not so happy endings.... if there is an ending at all.... leaving you to ponder. what fun! If you had all the books that were in this collection you might not feel the freedom to start, stop and paruse his world of life's non sequiturs. Kent in Buffalo
