ABOUT THE BOOK

Discover a rare, intimate portrait of Edward Gorey, the celebrated American icon of illustration, theater, and literature. Created alongside the only documentary film Gorey approved, this book offers fresh insight into the mind behind his uniquely cryptic and captivating work. Featuring 17 previously unpublished interviews—including five with Gorey himself—and more than 250 never-before-seen photographs of his daily life and home, this is an extraordinary glimpse into the artist behind the art, featuring reflections from admirers and collaborators including Danny Elfman, Daniel Handler, Julie Harris, and Terry Gilliam.
