The Edward Gorey Memorial Library

Edward Gorey was an American writer and illustrator living in New England. Sadly, he died in 2000. His writings and illustrations, for the most part, have a decidedly dark and humorous theme, much like that of Charles Addams' (of Addams Family fame). The genteel, upper middle class of the 1920's seem to be his favorites for lampooning. If you watch the PBS series Mystery, you've seen his work - he's the artist for the beginning and ending credits.
