Edward Gorey
1925-2000
an aloof, eccentric, absurdly talented author and ill-strator well known for his ill-strated stories, many of which are unplaceably illboding or p-ssively macabre, in tone or outright. his characters seemed to be placed in another time, from 1900 through 1930 perhaps, and there was something in his art and humor that caused many fans to initially mistake him for either english or dead. his style of drawing varied considerably from book to book, some ill-stations impossibly detailed and dark (the west wing), others less so (the eclectic abecedarium). he lived in new york city for a while, and then on cape cod.
the ghastlycrumb tinies, an alphabet of dead children, may be his best known book.
a writer/ill-strator/set designer who was known for his macabre themes and victorian-style ill-strations.
