| |  | | | From The Publisher
The Haunted Looking Glass is the late Edward Gorey's selection of his favorite tales of ghosts, ghouls, and grisly goings-on. It compiles stories by a number of masters of the art of making the flesh crawl including Charles Dickens, M. R. James, and Bram Stoker. This volume provides an introduction to the best of their lesser-known works, accompanied by Gorey's inimitable illustrations. His meticulously executed line drawings and quirky and often morbid sense of humor have made his works instantly recognizable and widely loved. The Haunted Looking Glass is a spine-tingling tribute to the master of the macabre. “A brilliant draftsman, Mr. Gorey has raised the crosshatch, a timeworn 19th century mannerism, into a timeless visual language ... [His works] tickle the funny bone as they raise hair on the back of the neck.” — The New York Times

Ghosts with the Gorey touch
-- J.H.Wilson, a ghost story anthology collector., September 4, 2001
| | | | The Reader's Catalog
This anthology of ghost stories—by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, and Bram Stoker, among others—was Gorey's first commission as an illustrator of children's books. "Witty, woeful, devious, and delirious to the point of obsession. [Gorey] was one of the most aptly named figures in American art and literature"—Mel Gussow, New York Times
