The Dwindling Party

by Gorey, Edward

  • Used
  • Hardcover
  • first
New York: Random House [0-394-85129-3] [circa 1982], 1st thus. (4to) Fine, no dust jacket. Wraparound illus. Glazed covers. Almost unnoticeable tear, neat and close, less than a 16th of an inch long, at binding to front. Flawless inside. That most beloved and deliciously morbid author / illustrator, Edward Gorey, takes us away from the disturbing and rather brutal accounts of what happened to the Tinies from Ghastlytown to introduce us to a whole new world of horrific and uproarious deaths as the MacFizzet family makes their way to Hickyacket Hall. Painstakingly and beautifully illustrated and colourized, Gorey's world is indeed a grim one but no one else has made grim demise so splendid..
