1.		The Gashlycrumb Tinies from Harcourt Price: $9.00 Customer Review: I bought three of these books as gifts for three retiring teachers -- they are so funny. An ABC book of odd outcomes for students. Love them.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Amphigorey from Perigee Trade Price: $12.21 Customer Review: "Amphigorey" brings together fifteen of Edward Gorey's most mordantly delightful books. Gorey's vision can be childishly simple ("The Wuggly Ump" and "The Gashlycrumb Tinies," in which things end up very, very badly for the small fry described therein) or surprisingly complex ("The Unstrung Harp," a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		The House With a Clock In Its Walls (Lewis Barnavelt) from Puffin Price: $5.99 Customer Review: For all who might argue that this is a rehash of Lemony Snicket, J.K. Rowling, or whomever, can we just remember that this book predates them all by at least two decades? This is genuinely creepy adolescent fiction, and if your child is prone to nightmares, I wouldn't let her have it at age 10. It's... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		The Epiplectic Bicycle from Harcourt Price: $8.00 Customer Review: The Epiplectic Bicycle ia a unique piece of literature and illustration. Such simple images, almost childish although not infantile or naive. Gorey's complex mind takes us though an amazing impossible world with infinite possibilities.

7.		The Doubtful Guest from Harcourt Price: $8.00 Customer Review: I picked up a copy of the Doubtful Guest because I heard Steven Speilberg optioned the rights to turn this into a movie. Not sure how he's going to do it, because there really isn't a story to tell. It's about a weird-looking penguin that shows up at a house and doesn't leave. Big whoop. I love the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

I am not exactly sure if the book i supposed to be a continuation of Amphigorey, but it has more of Edward Gorey.

This book has included draft version of the work, as well... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
