Since I read Edward Gorey's biography, I thought it would be a good idea to immerse myself in his books which led me to Amphigorey, Amphigorey Too, and Amphigorey Again. These are collections of his illustrated works and I have to be honest that I don't think I'm intellectual enough to get the 'deeper meaning' behind his grotesque little tales. While I found some of them amusing, I wasn't overly impressed or blown away. Also, I have to agree with Gorey's biographer that his books do best in their tiny format instead of lumped together like this. Reading fatigue hit me HARD while I was trying to get through these (and they really didn't capture my imagination) so it's going to be a 4/10 from me. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A series of multi-panel stories.
Some of Gorey's stories are interesting, some are mildly disturbing (like the dead child on the side of the road, who was saved from being abused at the orphanage), and some are just... "huh?" or "ummm... okay..."
The art is always darkly beautiful, of course.
Overall, I guess I get enough Gorey from various random sources, one panel at a time, because I have no particular intent to read any of the other compendiums. ( )
