Whew! :-) Am looking forward to this one ... as usual.

This is a paperback copy from Harcourt, published in 2007. The book was first published, in hardcover, in 2006.

I bought this book today at the independent bookstore Tronsmo in Oslo.

Read this today.

Another good Gorey collection, although I do feel that the first one was the best, and that - unsurprisingly - it's kind of gone downhill from there. But this is nonetheless very much worth reading. I'm giving it such a high mark because of the following title that it contains: The Deadly Blotter, a complete masterpiece. I am awestruck by Mr Gorey's cleverness. Seriously. Astonishing.

This book will now become a part of my Permanent Collection. :-)
