The cult book by Edward Gorey – the genius who inspired Tim Burton, Neil Gaiman and Guillermo Del Toro
The perfectly creepy, amusing book that inspired Tim Burton, Neil Gaiman and Guillermo Del Toro. A is for AMY who fell down the stairs B is for BASIL assaulted by bears C is for CLARA who wasted away... ... and so it goes on, an A to Z of poor little orphans and their untimely ends. (Right up to the unfortunate ZILLA, who simply drank too much gin.) This collector's edition of Edward Gorey's pocket-sized masterpiece comes in a special slipcase with ribbon.
Gorey was the master of the macabre and The Gashlycrumb Tinies was his masterpiece: a doomladen abecedary of infant disaster and sudden awful endings. For years I had it on my wall as a poster. Now I will have a beautiful object to love. -- Neil Gaiman
EDWARD GOREY. American. A singularity. Prose & images, redolent of Victorian dread and beauty. Influenced Tim Burton. -- Guillermo Del Toro
