Gorey’s short, illustrated books are known both for the whimsically absurd storylines and for his distinctive artwork; crosshatched line drawings of stylized scenes set in the Edwardian era. Although often identified as macabre and gothic, his works in actuality range from the nonsensical to the poignant, amusing to the unsettling – often with a dose of surrealism and almost always with an offbeat sense of humor.
