	DarkEcho/HorrorOnline: Edward St. John Gorey
		Gorey's writing perfectly mixed the macabre with humor and clever word play to (usually) tell a cautionary tale of moral instruction and devastatingly bizarre hilarity.
		Edward Gorey was born in Chicago in 1925 and claims to have taught himself to read at age 3 1/2, to have read ALICE IN WONDERLAND and DRACULA at age 5, FRANKENSTEIN at age 7, all of the works of Victor Hugo by age 8, and continued growing up reading Agatha Christie mysteries.
		Gorey and O'Hara were campus dandies in the manner of Oscar Wilde.

	Edward Gorey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in Chicago, Gorey came from a colorful family; his parents divorced when he was 11, then remarried when he was 27.
		Gorey's illustrated (and sometimes wordless) books, with their vaguely ominous air and ostensibly Victorian and Edwardian settings, have long had a cult following.
		Gorey was noted for his fondness for ballet (for many years, he religiously attended all performances of the New York City Ballet) and cats, of which he had many.

	Edward Gorey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Edward Gorey, the artist and author who was a grand master of the comic macabre and delighted generations of readers with his spidery drawings and stories of hapless children, swooning maidens, throbblefooted specters, threatening topiary and weird, mysterious events on eerie Victorian landscapes, died on Saturday at Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, Mass.
		Gorey could be sportive as well as horrific, as in "The Broken Spoke," which, in his words, "combines, with breathtaking cleverness, two objects of consuming interest: postcards and bicycles." Although sometimes confused with the cartoonist Charles Addams, with whom he shared an interest in the ghoulish, Mr.
		Gorey remembered the time that the cats were on a couch and suddenly "everyone turned," eyes opening wide, as if someone, or something, unseen had entered the room.

		Gorey's weird, yet genteel sensibility -- even ghouls should be properly attired, after all -- is a perfect fit for the series and WGBH has been pleased to share his art with our audience.
		Though Gorey worked in mainstream publishing for a time (he was in Doubleday's art department for eight years), his real passion was creating his own bizarre stories and illustrating them.
		Often mistakenly labeled as "morbid," Gorey is was in fact a rather cheerful individual, whose sharply pungent observations were laced with a ready wit.

		In the 1950s, when Gorey was establishing himself as a young artist, the New York school and abstract expressionism dominated the art world; art was a manly, gin-soaked profession for men like Jackson Pollock, who could swipe a canvas with the same power with which he swatted his wife.
		Gorey knows this well: "I feel that I am doing the minimum amount of damage to other possibilities that may take place in a reader's head." This is a lesson Gorey has learned, in part, from classic silent film.
		Gorey's prose sometimes resembles the delightful nonsense of Edward Lear and the jabberwocky of Lewis Carroll.

		Gorey's work was not at first met with open arms by the publishing world -- to put it mildly.
		Perhaps a primal clue to Gorey's perspicacity and morbid taste can be found in his choice of childhood reading material: He read "Dracula" at age 5, "Frankenstein" at age 7 and all of the works of Victor Hugo by age 8.
		Gorey was not born in England, but in Chicago, in 1925.

		Gorey's ability to create a picture and fill it with life - even the languid, half-life his characters seem to lead - is what separates every major artist from the pretenders and mannerists.
		Gorey's work is inimitable because of its precise mix of wit and skill, its difficult-to-achieve but nevertheless perfect proportion of physical and intellectual virtuosity.
		Gorey, a transplanted Midwesterner, was born in Chicago in 1925.

		Gorey's Agatha Christie homage The Awdrey-Gore Legacy (1972) is not so much a detective story as an illustrated comic tool kit for assembling a Christie-style plot, but the framing material suggests another and odder mystery.
		In that quarter-century of ballet attendance Gorey became notorious for vast fur coats as favoured by his characters, complemented by white tennis shoes.
		Gorey successfully took his design skills to the theatre, a highlight being his melodramatically sinister sets and costumes for the 1977 Broadway production of Dracula; this brought him a Tony Award for costume design.

		Gorey could expound for hours on obscure novels and celebrated foreign films, yet also enjoyed bad movies and guilty pleasure like "The Golden Girls," "All My Children," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Doctor Who." He granted interviews, but hated discussing the motives behind his work.
		Gorey attended Harvard in the late 1940s - where he cut a distinctive figure in his long fur coats and tennis sneakers - studying French but beginning illustration work shortly after graduation.
		Theroux's occasional insights into Gorey's art are always absorbing, and it's a shame that he doesn't dedicate more of the book to this analysis.

	Snappy brings Gorey's work to life - The Boston Globe
		Series commission given its world premiere last night, the humorously creepy art of author and illustrator Edward Gorey is given "legs." A woman's shadow dances with that of her beloved arisen from the grave.
		Gorey's darkly warped wit and eerie imagery seem tailor-made for expanding into minidramas, and Snappy's artistic director Martha Mason along with the company's six other talented performers have found the material fertile ground.
		However, the closest "The Temperamental Wobble" comes to any kind of story line is via Bonnie Duncan's pig-tailed waif (the Innocent Child), who periodically gets abused and neglected in the midst of her feuding parents' brawl and who ultimately seems to be swallowed up by a forest of thorny carnivorous plants.

		In Gorey's beautifully illustrated books, the band found a kindred spirit: an author obsessed with Victorian melodrama and Edwardian ennui, who took a macabre delight in tracing the violent twists of fate, and imbued his darkest tales with discomforting humour.
		While the band were making these Gorey discoveries, the author himself was living in a farmhouse in Cape Cod, taking care of countless cats and writing puppet shows for local theatre groups.
		Gorey's next correspondence was a large cardboard box containing a stone that looked like a frog (and would, Gorey promised, turn into one if stared at long enough), and a neatly organised pile of his as yet unillustrated, unpublished works.

		His drawings, Gorey says, have been heavily influenced by 19th-century illustrations, his sensibility by Jane Austen and 19th-century English novels, among others -- a partial explanation for why his books seem to carry the aura of a distant era.
		But Gorey is also "unreasonably interested in surrealism and Dada." At Harvard in the 1950s, after a stint in the Army "on the fringes of World War II" in the Utah desert, he roomed with the poet Frank O'Hara and was friends with the poet John Ashbery.

		Gorey's jaundiced, neo-Victorian vision of sinister adults, persecuted waifs and malevolent creatures is abetted by the thematically perfect production design (Michael Franco), sets (Joel Daavid), costumes/masks (Ann Closs-Farley) and lights (Cricket Sloat), all in his trademark B&W and shades of gray.
		A prominent theme in many of the tales is the victimization of the helpless, particularly children, chronicled with Gorey's customary dispassionate whimsy.
