The Glorious Nosebleed, an alphabet created with Edward Gorey’s inimitable sense of the weird and the macabre, trips from A to Z with illustrations that are both strikingly funny and a bit weird, all the way from “She wandered among the trees Aimlessly” to “He wrote it all down Zealously.” A classic of Gorey’s imaginative and darkly humorous mind.

This review is from: The Glorious Nosebleed (Hardcover)
The book is beautiful. Much smaller than I had imagined but just lovely. I ordered several Gorey books at the same time and they make a nice little collection. The books are smart both aesthetically and content-wise. Adult themes and imagery. Love them!
