Amphigorey Again is the fourth, and possibly last, anthology of works by American author and artist Edward St. John Gorey (1925-2000). Picking up where the previous anthology Amphigorey Also (1983) left off, Amphigorey Again reaches as far back as 1968 with the inclusion of The Other Statue and Categor y in 1974, at the same time encompassing the last of Gorey's work with The Headless Bust (1999).
Edward Gorey may be an acquired taste. The people I know who actually know who he is/was seem to either love his work or hate it; I happen to love it. Gorey seems to have made a successful career out of being an eccentric. Reclusive, nearly obsessive fan of ballet, sneakered and fur-coat garbed, and with a house full of cats, his graphic art and illustrated poetry projected such an oddly distinctive ambience that many people thought that he was either British and/or had lived and died in the late Victorican age. In fact, he was American born and raised, hardly every traveled far from his New England home, a daytime television fan, and lived from 1925 - 2000.
In his early career back in the 1950s he self-published a number of small (literally) single-work volumes which he wrote an illustrated himself. These volumes sport such interesting titles as "The Unstrung Harp," "The Doubtful Guest," "The Listing Attic," and "The Curious Sofa." Much of his work has a slightly uneasy macabre cast to it, although any violence is nearly always suggestive rather than outright. Since his death many of these small books have been re-released in modern, UPC adorned editions, and the original limited editions have been known to fetch some significant collectors' prices.
The "Amphigory" books are collections of several of these short pieces into single larger volumes (Amphigory Again contains twenty-nine of them). The first three of these collections:
