He's the master of the macabre, agreed?

I was thrilled to find Edward Gorey's Introduction for The Inspector Lynley Mysteries on PBS. I don't know if I ever watch that series. Now I must look for it. Enjoy! xo

Love Edward Gorey. His artwork is so unique....a tad bizarre, a little off-kilter...but somehow they bring a smile. Thanks, Rosemary. Happy Halloween.
We enjoyed that film the first few times we sa it. We have now watched it so many times we fast forward through it. :)
Linda Sand -- I liked his film from day one and still watch it from beginning to end. He was quite a character! xo, Rosemary

Fortunate to live down the road from Edward Gorey's house (now the Gorey Museum), in Yarmouth Port, Mass.,offering a glimpse into the quirky world, life and interests he had.
itztru -- You are indeed fortunate to live in such a charming town with the Gorey Museum!!! I find him quite fascinating.

UPDATE: I found a YouTube Video for an old introduction to Masterpiece Mystery on PBS for The Inspector Lynley Mysteries. It's very long and wonderful. Look when you have time.
