I like Edward Gorey and his black humor
Frist I know Edward Gorey that my tutor told me .
We ,he give me to look Edward Gorey's work when on the tutorial.
I am sure I like it very much when I frist look at the picture,
it seems that the style I was looking for a long time ,and then I found it!
The Gashlycrumb Tinies: or, After the Outing 是他最早的作品,描述了26个小孩子的死亡,
每个小孩代表了一个字母。全文都用押韵的长短格联句写成,每句都配有作者风格独特的黑白插画。
虽然是儿童插画书,但很显然的,这种阴郁的风格可能似乎真的不适合小盆友吧,哈哈。不过大盆友会喜欢哈,就想我哈哈哈。
is an abecedarian book written by Edward Gorey that was first published in 1963.
Gorey tells the tale of 26 children (each representing a letter of the alphabet)
and their untimely deaths in rhyming dactylic couplets,
accompanied by the author's distinctive black and white illustrations.

Edward Gorey is American writers, artists,
poets and illustrator such multiple identities
Gorey is typically described as an illustrator. His books can be found in the humor and cartoon sections of major bookstores, but books like The Object Lesson have earned serious critical respect as works of surrealist art. His experimentations — creating books that were wordless, books that were literally matchbox-sized, pop-up books, books entirely populated by inanimate objects — complicates matters still further. As Gorey told Richard Dyer of The Boston Globe, "Ideally, if anything [was] any good, it would be indescribable." Gorey classified his own work as literary nonsense, the genre made most famous by Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear.
In response to being called gothic, he stated, "If you're doing nonsense it has to be rather awful, because there'd be no point. I'm trying to think if there's sunny nonsense. Sunny, funny nonsense for children — oh, how boring, boring, boring. As Schubert said, there is no happy music. And that's true, there really isn't. And there's probably no happy nonsense, either."
