Edward Gorey was an author and illustrator of many books that often have the appearance of children's stories, but are usually much more ominous, even sinister, and yet oddly humorous. Gorey produced three books, which collect in total more than three dozen individual books: 'Amphigorey', 'Amphigorey too' and 'Amphigorey also'. Gorey was on the dark side of the comics form for close to five decades. His name has become synonymous with an approach to cartooning that is both cerebral and disquieting.
