Amphigorey Again by Edward Gorey, 260 pages
The final Gorey book! By completing this series you have won the following prizes. One poly-sci credit at the university of your choice and secondly a free straight jacket and rubber room. With this last book Gorey goes off the deep end into the realm of confusing and maybe pointless stories. I will say some of the art is good though.
Having now read all of these graphic novels I can understand why someone would recommend them to another. I think it is a subtle dare. I didn't understand some but you should read them and I am sure you can explain some of the stories to me. Either that or misery loves company.
