I didn’t even know about Edward Gorey until my husband started re-reading John Bellairs books. I happened to pick one up one day and started reading it but was finding myself more captivated by the illustrations that accompany each chapter. I love the line work that Gorey achieves, it amazes me at the detail of each illustration that is created by cross-hatching, and lines. The books by John Bellairs are great reads, and worth holding onto for the work of Edward Gorey. Just so happens he is a fellow native Chicagoan too, that was just a coincidence I stumbled upon as I researched Gorey a bit more.
