Edward Gorey"s  poster  10x15"

 Edward Gorey(1925 - 2000)

was an American writer and artist noted for his playfully macabre illustrated books.

From 1953 to 1960, he lived in New York City and worked for the Art Dept of Doubleday Anchor, illustrating book covers and in some cases adding illustrations to the text. He illustrated works as diverse as Dracula by Bram Stoker, The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells, and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T.S.Elliot.

In later years he produced cover illustrations and interior artwork for many children's books by John Bellairs, as well as books begun by Bellairs and continued by Brad Strickland after Bellairs' death.

His first independent work, “The Unstrung Harp”, was published in 1953. He also published under pen names that were anagrams of his

first and last names, such as Ogdred Weary, Dogear Wryde, Ms. Regera Dowdy, and dozens more.

His books also feature the names Eduard Blutig ("Edward Gory"), a German language pun &
O. Müde (German for O. Weary).

The New York Times credits bookstore owner Andreas Brown and his store, The Gotham Book Mart, with launching Gorey's career: "it became the central clearing house for Mr. Gorey, presenting exhibitions of his work in the store's gallery and eventually turning him into an international celebrity."
