I've been an Edward Gorey fan for as long as i can remember. When i was 5 or 6, my mom got me The Dwindling Party for christmas, and it had quite an impact on me. It's morbid humor fascinated me, and since then, i've always been drawn to humor with a dark-tint to it.  I treasured the book as a kid, and thankfully i still have it to this day.  When i was closer to 10 or 11, i found the Amphigorey books in my local bookstore, and immediately remembered the pop-up-book from my youth. I saved until i could afford all three, and ever since then, i've been slowly getting my hands on everything of his that i can. Edward Gorey was an amazing author and artist who had a profound impact on me....he will be missed....
