The Raging Tide was incredibly amusing, and the final piece was so sad-clearly left unfinished due to Gorey's death.

A fine collection of odd bits of Gorey, many of them from magazines and things, published after his death.

"The Haunted Tea-Cosy" is a must-read holiday tale, recounting the visit of a trio of subfuse but transparent personages, guided by the Bahhum Bug. And the rest of it is amusing, as well.

Why was this book hiding the adult non-fiction art section? Anyway, I'm glad that I found it. Edward Gorey is always weird and mostly funny. "The Raging Tide: or, The Black Doll's Imbroglio" is a satire of the choose-your-own-adventure genre.

Edward Gorey is the boss of short art horror comedy fun.

In my not so humble opinion, Edward Gorey's work has really stood the test of time. I really enjoyed the illustration as well as reading this aloud to my son.
