Nearly all of Barnaby Ward’s comics and narrative illustrations feature beautiful young girls, slender, hip, with unruly hair and too much eyeliner. But these girls provide an anchor for Ward’s far wilder depictions of giant robots, elaborate machines, and grotesque monsters, creating manga-inspired works with tinges of Edward Gorey. Check out our gallery to see more of Ward’s glamourous...

... Too Many Books totebag. Because you can never have enough bookbags. And the illustration is by Edward Gorey. I've discovered a new mystery author. L.R. Wright's The Suspect sounds like something I would enjoy. A mystery that is less a whodunit than a why-dunit. It's set in Canada and won the 1985 Edgar Award. These keychains are the sort of thing you buy for someone else (or hope...

A few of my favourite shots from my favourite night of the year. Dead ballerina, Holly Golightly, Sexy Killer Tomato and Edward Gorey character slash Wednesday Addams. We are very serious. This is our serious pose. Antics! Just a typical Friday night. You know. Close-up of sexy killer tomato! Her deadly tomato arsenal included such dangers as zombies, cancer, avian [...]

... for my love of the kind of literature that dominates my October nights: the illustrations of Edward Gorey present in short story collections I checked out from the library, my reading at age 12 of Dracula by Bram Stoker (incidentally also checked out from the local library), and my first introduction to the works of Edgar Allan Poe. From 7th through 10th grade I attended a small Christian...

8. Which New England author, cartoonist, and illustrator, accused of being predictably drawn to the gothic, responded, “If you’re doing nonsense it has to be rather awful, because there’d be no point. I’m trying to think if there’s sunny nonsense. Sunny, funny nonsense for children – oh, how boring, boring, boring.” a) Maurice Sendak b) Lewis Carroll c) Eric Carle d) Edward Gorey Go to...

A gift from us this week before Halloween, the story that Olivia Laing recently called , "Scariest story ever, so horrifying that to this day I can't keep it in my house" and puts on par with stories by Bram Stoker and Stephen King. And perhaps more importantly, Edward Gorey selected it for his anthology, The Haunted Looking Glass . Download "Casting the Runes" by M.R. James

... looks and feels like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari animated by Ray Harryhausen, equal parts Edward Gorey and Edvard Munch, the perfect realization of the bizzaro version of Disney (where, fittingly, Burton got his start) in its creator's head. There's just something about Nightmare - a purity of vision, I guess, that makes me prefer it over Burton's later foray into animation, Corpse...

... Olive's aide told me that the sight of Olive in her pink high-top sneakers makes her think of Edward Gorey's The Doubtful Guest . This amused me. 3. If given a choice, Clover will always choose to nap on one of our articles of clothing--the more soiled the better. There.
