First printing
Gorey's obsessive lifestyle is perfectly mirrored in his highly distinctive, yet wonderfully varied drawing styles.
He revels in a world of sensual pleasure, tinged with a cruel sense of arbitrary evil, beneath a veneer of Edwardian high style.
This biography attempts to unravel the clues from his homes and habits, floor-length fur coats and all.
