Chapter Fifty: Amphigorey

This is a fun and strange collection of works by Edward Gorey, who illustrates his own writing, some of which is poetry and some of which is prose. (Amphigory, by the way, means a meaningless or nonsensical piece of writing, especially one intended as a parody, so the title, Amphigorey (punning on his surname) is quite apt.)  Gorey is a strange fellow, judging by his works, some of which have plots and some of which are intriguingly non-linear.  His illustrations have a Victorian or Edwardian style to them, which definitely adds to the creepiness of stories.  His work is quite unique, and it is well worth checking out if you want something wacky.
