The Deranged Cousins, or, Whatever by Edward Gorey
4.0
This has the dark humors. I love the names he chooses for his characters in this story. Talk about knotted together. They are: rose Marshmary, Mary Rosemarch and lastly Marsh Maryrose. How’s that for clever? I love it. They live in a house covered in roses on a marsh. He keeps it going.
These 3 orphans are na’r do-well’s. They are orphans who live without bounds. One is murdered by a girl in a fight. The boy dies from drinking some found spoiled vanilla and the last drowns in a high tide.
It’s clever, the artwork is great and the dark humor is devilish. It’s a good story.
