Originally released as a slim paperback 10 years ago (now out of print and fetch
ing collector's prices), this in-depth illustrated monograph on the late, great
Edward Gorey returns as a thoroughly rewritten, expanded and redesigned hardcove
r. Drawing from a multitude of reference and his own personal relationship to Go
rey, literary heavyweight Alexander Theroux has accomplished an amazing feat of
illuminating the real Edward Gorey with ambiguity, wit, fervor and reverence, co
mbined with honest and clear-eyed appraisals of his work. No Gorey fan can be wi
thout it.
