Edward Gorey

Edward Gorey was a cool dude. Maybe a sick bastard, but my kind of sick bastard.
I've been to his house where much of his work is displayed, some originals and photographs of the larger works like set designs for Broadway and films. I bought some wrapping paper in the gift shop, kind of an all occasion, safe for children, a step up from plain brown paper.

My first exposure to him was the opening credits of PBS's Mystery!
He also illustrated the macabre mystery books of John Bellairs.
Now I own a large number of his books.

I first became aware of him from The Gashlycrumb Tinies, in college. Boy, did they ring my chimes.
