Amphigorey: Fifteen Books by Edward Gorey\n\nPublisher : Penguin Putnam, 1980\nAuthor(s) : Edward Gorey\nFormat : Softcover\nEdition: 1980\nPages: 192\nISBN: 978-0399504334\n\n \n\nAn illustrated collection of 15 macabre short stories. Many of Gorey's tales involve untimely deaths and dreadful mishaps, but much like tragic Irish ballads with their perky rhythms and melodies, they come off as strangely lighthearted.\n\nThe title of this deliciously creepy collection of Gorey's work stems from the word amphigory, meaning a nonsense verse or composition. As always, Gorey's painstakingly cross- hatched pen and ink drawings are perfectly suited to his oddball verse and prose.
