Of the 3 Edward Gorey collections so far, this is my least favorite. Even saying that, there are still some great stories in this collection. I thought ‘the Blue Aspic, the ‘Epiplectic Bicycle’ and the ‘Sopping Thursday’ were great stories. There were also several stories in here that didn’t work for me. There were a few other stories too.

I still want to add this book to my collection someday. There are better places to start than this one though.

It would be a wonderful story to read to children who are learning the alphabet and their letters. Two of the most gothic and elegant tales, "The

As much as I love Gorey's work, this book shows his tendency to return to the same wells one too many times. The dark whimsy, alphabetical games, and silly wordplay only go so far this time around, but there are still a few gems, esp. The Stupid Joke. Absolutely worth a look for fans, but there's a fair bit of dross here.

How wonderfully absurd!

I haven't read all the Amphigorey books (not that the order of them matters), but this one happened to be sitting around in my grandma's house, so ... I sat down and read the whole thing, which didn't take long. Edward Gorey has always been one of my favorite illustrators, and I love his dark sense of humor. There were a couple stories in this anthology that I found a little ... over-the-top (particularly a really disturbing one about a couple who murder childrenyikes) but for the most part I

If Gorey ever did something that WASN'T brilliant, I haven't seen it.
