I like the concept of morbid stories but this one is not really a story nor does it have other redeeming qualities. Rather check out Tim Burton's oyster boy

The Epiplectic Bicycle ia a unique piece of literature and illustration. Such simple images, almost childish although not infantile or naive. Gorey's complex mind takes us though an amazing impossible world with infinite possibilities.

This is my second favorite of all Gorey tales, behind only "The Doubtful Guest." The story concerns Embley and Yewbert, who, after hitting each other with croquet mallets, have quite an adventure on the bicycle in question.
One of the beautiful things about Gorey is the number of interpretations that are possible. In all likelihood no two people will take the same thing away from his stories, which immeasurably enhances the reading experience. As in all Gorey tales, this one contains extremely peculiar turns of phrase, and this one has the bonus of seemingly randomly numbered chapters, although it took me three times through the book before I noticed.
This is a delightful introduction to Gorey, and is one of his distinctly less macabre stories. This book is wonderful fun for all ages and is highly recommended.
