Anyone ever had the twisted pleasure of reading these? This man's like the original Tim Burton. He's best known for illustrating T.S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book on Practical Cats and the introduction to the TV show Mystery.

And the Gashlygrumb Tinies. http://users.aol.com/emarko/gorey.html

Other notable works of his are The Doubtful Guest and The Listing Attic.

This man is too awesome. And disturbing. But awesome, too.

Heh, Gashlycrumb Tinies. Personally, I always really liked the old intro to PBS' Mystery back in the day (which Gorey scripted).

There are three large collections of his work available, Amphigorey, Amphigorey Too and Amphigorey Also. The Gashlycrumb Tinies is included in the first. He can be pleasingly morbid, but some of his work is really twisted and he's not for everyone.

Yeah, Amphigorey is the one I picked up. Fairly nice assortment, except for...

The Cushioned Sofa in particular. Thank heavens I don't have that much of an imagination.
