Customer Reviews

A placidly homicidal terpsichorean feline romp, in two parts

This surreal little volume allows one to wander through increasingly subversive snippets of two seperate(?) topics, at once both unnerving and delightful in their irreverent seriousness. The sections of the book, specified in the title, diverge in feeling as well as content: the dancing cats serving as the light side to the darker, and more snidely witty foray into the realm of neglected murderesses. As always, Gorey's spindly, expressive drawings are at the top of their form in completing the numerous shadowy verse vignettes that make up each half of the book.
