I was introduced to Edward Gorey at an impressionable age by my aunt and have been a fan since. I had a chance to visit the house during a trip to Cape Cod about four years ago and had a blast.

He wrote and illustrated the grimmest things! Here's part of a series of poems:
"The sight of Uncle gives no pleasure,
But rather causes much alarm:
The children know that at his leisure
He plans to have them come to harm."

If you watch Mystery! on PBS, you'll recognize his artwork.
