The Ever-Expanding Gorey Collection

Greetings, Gate and welcome to another installment of More Chains Than Clank, the blog-o-roonie that doesn't come up on an off-time riff.

Let's dig the latest additions to my Edward Gorey collection:

Esquire, December, 1966: A Cthonian Christmas and The Fantod Pack.

The Fantod Pack, 1995, Gotham Book Mart, 2nd printing, limited to 500 copies, signed by Edward Gorey. The Fantod Pack consists of 20 tarot-like cards and an interpretive booklet by Madame Groeda Wyrde, an Edward Gorey anagram. A general sense of foreboding is the portent of the Fantod Pack!

While I was in Seattle I picked up the following:

The Haunted Tea-Cosy, 1st edition, 1997 (?), Harcourt Brace
The Headless Bust, 1st edition, 1999, Harcourt Brace

two books Gorey illustrated:

Donald Has a Difficulty, P.F. Neumeyer & Edw. Gorey, 2004, Abrams
Donald and the ... P.F. Neumeyer & Edw. Gorey, 2004, Abrams
