Edward Gorey (1925 – 2000) was an American writer, Tony Award-winning costume designer, and artist, noted for his own illustrated books as well as cover art and illustration for books by other writers.
Gorey's illustrated (and sometimes wordless) books, with their vaguely ominous air and ostensibly Victorian and Edwardian settings, have long had a cult following.
The Amphigorey book series by Edward Gorey includes books Amphigorey, Amphigorey Too, Amphigorey Also, and Amphigorey Again, the covers of which I show above.
