Customer Reviews

Sheer Genius! Drawings enhance clever text well.

I love the use of the phrase "particularly atrocious"

Why we should hesitate before generating offspring:

The piquant drawings and delicious writing of Edward Gorey never fail to provide pleasure and (guilty?) amusement, particularly at the expense of... children. That he is one of the very few artists in any medium who gets away with this in these stridently familo-centric times is both refreshing and a testament to his genius. --Chris Jense
