A Series of Unfortunate Events Box: The Complete Wreck by Lemony Snicket

5.0

Everything about this book gripped me. Handler cites Edward Gorey and Roald Dahl as influences, and there's no better way to define his work. Deliciously despondent; I felt actual dread when I read it as a kid and rereading as an adult, I still love it for its dark humor. Also, the illustrations are beautiful... Brett Helquist does for these books what Quentin Blake did for Roald Dahl's.
One of my favourite book series, and best pen name hands down.
