Edward Gorey aka Edward St. John Gorey (American, 1925-2000)

Illustrations for Dracula. More pics from the book here.

He's the master of the macabre, agreed?

I love his short film set to the perfect music to introdce MASTERPIECE MYSTERY on PBS. Look for it tonight on GRANTCHESTER.

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

Halloween Bat

I probably posted this last year but I love it so here it is again. I took the photo from my antiquarian book, The Royal Book of Crests, and added the text myself. Be safe tonight and don't eat too much candy. I am turning off the lights early and will be watching movies in bed. I voted today and placed my mail-in ballot in a designated drop box in front of a police station. I really wanted to vote in person but decided this way was safer and ever so much easier. Count Dracula would have loved this crest. xo
