"A is for Amy who fell down the stairs. B is for Basil assaulted by bears. C is for Clara who wasted away. D is for Desmond thrown out of a sleigh..." The rhyming couplets of this grim abecedarian are familiar, of course, to devotees of macabre humor, but the darkly crosshatched drawings are (as Poe put it) "the soul of the plot." Several years went by during which The Gashlycrumb Tinies: Or, After the Outing was not available in a small hardcover edition like this one, which is the true format for Edward Gorey's specialty, the adult picture book. (For those who wish to share the gloom there's a 10-copy assortment with The Curious Sofa.)
Book Description
A new, small-format edition of one of Gorey’s “dark masterpieces of surreal morality” (Vanity Fair) - a witty, disquieting journey through the alphabet.

Not certain why this grisly little picture book is so appealing - perhaps it's the stark contrast between the usual cutesy alphabet picture books and the various ends that the children listed by their names meet.
""A is for Amy who fell down the stairs. B is for Basil assaulted by bears. C is for Clara who wasted away." Those are only the first of this bizarrely-rhyming, darkly-illustrated little book. It's very short, but I found myself wishing that Mr. Gorey had gone on into numbers as well, perhaps into retellings of fairy tales. ;)
If you are a reader who likes sweet, happy content, you will loathe this book utterly. If you don't mind a volume that is twisted and sick in a way that will make you laugh out loud, then by all means scootle to buy this!
Format:Relié
...but this book is done in an undeniably British style. It's really truly brilliant. The demises of these 26 toddlers are morbidly hysterical, and the art is truly wonderful. I believe my favorite of the demises was the child who "died of ennui". This book is great for anyone with a decidedly macabre sense of humor.
Listmania!
