Amphigorey


Amphigorey by Edward Gorey, 212 pages

Cover image for Amphigorey : fifteen books / by Edward Gorey.This book and everything by Gorey was recommended by the Literature, Entertainment and Biography staff after I came across the word “ennui” in my readings. The book is a collection of short stories or pictures that sometimes convey a message or plot and other times not. To call it weird would be an understatement as Gorey not only makes up words but he also conveys some dreadful thoughts. I frequently found myself pausing and thinking “What did I just read” before moving on.
