About This Item
Dodd Mead, 1977. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Ed. First ed. Very good/ Near fine condition, it appears the FEP and title page were glued together at some point and then pulled apart, leaving abrasions to both pages, Illustrated by Gorey.
Synopsis
From inside the book's front flap: "This book may well prove to be its author's most unpleasant ever." This tells the tale of a psycopathic couple whose "life's work" is to murder children. Gorey's Victorian Gothic satires are generally humorous, yet this one is exceedingly creepy and malevolent.
