Varied collection of illustrations and poems that vacillates between sad, creepy, and morbid, with a sense of dark humor and absurdity throughout. Much preferred to the Tim Burton collection I recently read. I'm not familiar with Gorey's work, but this was a good appetite-whetter.

Definitely need to own this book, and probably the other Amphigoreys as well. Gorey's writing is intelligent & funny, but the detail of his artwork requires returning to the book & its illustrations again and again to fully appreciate it.
