The crosshatched penwork, neurasthenic-looking subjects, and crepuscular surroundings are, shall we say, a dead giveaway. It can only be Edward Gorey, king of the cornically creepy. Here are seventeen mysterious Gorey works you aren't likely to have seen before (some months show multiple images). All are untitled, but their casual descriptions--"Baby Toss," "A Weekend at Sepulchre"--should tell you what to expect: a year's worth of grins courtesy of the great Gorey.
