Editorial Reviews

Salon
[Gorey's] cult of devotees numbers in the millions.
Publishers Weekly
An elegant reprint anthology of 12 classic stories is The Haunted Looking Glass: Ghost Stories Chosen and Illustrated by Edward Gorey. Readers can trust that the late maven of the macabre has picked the most ghoulish works by the likes of Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Bram Stoker, R.H. Malden and Robert Louis Stevenson.

Kirkus Reviews
Back in 1959, before he became as famous as he was at his death last year, illustrator Gorey selected 12 classic horror tales for this delightfully eerie anthology, which stands on its own merits as a historical introduction to the genre. But it's also a great entry into the warped sensibility that animated Gorey's twisted genius for densely illustrated narratives of absurdist dimensions. The classic yarnspinners are well represented here: M.R. James's tale of evil turned against itself; R.L. Stevenson's mystery of badness avenged; and Bram Stoker's tale of a house cursed with madness. Creaky and creepy houses figure into most of these stories, from Algernon Blackwood's haunted urban rowhouse to R.H. Malden's provincial gothic chiller. The bonus: each story begins with a Gorey illustration.

Meet the Author

Edward Gorey (1925–2000) was born in Chicago. He studied briefly at the Art Institute of Chicago, spent three years in the army testing poison gas, and attended Harvard College, where he majored in French literature and roomed with the poet Frank O’Hara. In 1953 Gorey published The Unstrung Harp, the first of his many extraordinary books, which include The Curious Sofa, The Haunted Tea Cosy, and The Epiplectic Bicycle. In addition to illustrating his own books, Gorey provided drawings to countless books for both children and adults. Of these, New York Review Books has published The Haunted Looking Glass, a collection of Gothic tales that he selected and illustrated; The War of the Worlds, the pioneering work of science fiction by H. G. Wells; and Men and Gods, a retelling of ancient Greek myths by Rex Warner.
