Gorey accomplices

Posted by David Ralfe (Marketing & Admin. Assistant, Hoipolloi)

A quick hello to some fellow Gorey-lovers Hoipolloi have met in cyberspace....

The Edward Gorey House in Massachusetts exhibits original copies of Edward Gorey's illustrations and celebrates his life and work, in the very house in which Gorey lived. It also honours Gorey's compassion for animal welfare issues by supporting local and national animal welfare projects. You can visit their website by clicking here. They've even got Doubtful Guest t-shirts in their online shop!

Goreyography is an online compendium of all things Gorey. There are articles about Gorey being translated into Japanese, first edition Goreys for sale and, my favourite, an online exhibition of the front covers Gorey designed for Anchor paperbacks (not a million miles from the British Penguin Classics series). For a lesson in Goreyography, click here.

Happy browsing!
