An illustrated collection of 15 macabre short stories. In this gorgeously detailed volume, American artist and author Edward Gorey accents amphigory (nonsense verse or composition) with his signature cross-hatched pen-and-ink drawings. A mix of poetry and prose, light-hearted and decidedly more morbid storytelling, the book is sure to satisfy both fans of art and lovers of short stories alike.~|~ ~|~Stories included:~|~\"The Unstrung Harp\"~|~\"The Listing Attic\"~|~\"The Doubtful Guest\"~|~\"The Object Lesson\"~|~\"The Bug Book\"~|~\"The Fatal Lozenge\"~|~\"The Hapless Child\"~|~\"The Curious Sofa\"~|~\"The Willowdale Handcar\"~|~\"The Gashlycrumb Tinies\"~|~\"The Insect God\"~|~\"The West Wing\"~|~\"The Wuggly Ump\"~|~\"The Sinking Spell\"~|~\"The Remembered Visit\"
