One of my favorite authors is Edward Gorey. He is primarily an illustrator, but he also adds macabre narration to his strangely compelling, yet spooky, etchings.
His illustrated Alphabet book, called "The Gashlycrumb Tinies," is a classic. I happened upon an internet version of it tonight. I thought the depraved denizens of this website might enjoy it. Especially since the final page (the Z page) is named for one of our own.
Enjoy!......Jake

P.S. - George and Gail - I've read that Edward Gorey, while originally from Chicago, spent most of his life on Cap Cod. Maybe you knew him?
