"Amphigorey: Fifteen Books" is a brilliant compilation of works by American author and illustrator Edward Gorey. Distinctively Gorey, the collection is packed with intricate pen-and-ink drawings and darkly humorous narratives. His tales feature eccentric characters, absurd situations, and a sense of whimsical melancholy that is both captivating and unsettling. Particularly noteworthy is its comprehensive presentation of Gorey's diverse body of work. From macabre alphabet books to surreal narratives and enigmatic tales, the anthology showcases the breadth of Gorey's imagination and his mastery of the illustrated book format. My favorite is "The Gashlycrumb Tinies," a darkly humorous and macabre abecedarian book that illustrates the deaths of 26 children, each representing a letter of the alphabet. His clever rhymes create a sense of morbid whimsy, drawing readers into a world where unfortunate accidents befall each child in alphabetical order. The entire collection is a classic!
