Here’s a sneak peek:įloating Worlds is available through Pomegranate.Īvailable now: Print Magazine’s Guest Art Director Digital Collection With charm, wit, and a healthy dose of self-deprecation, Gorey shares middle-of-the-night illustration and story ideas, constantly questions his own existence (hence his macabre drawings), and - all too relatable to creatives - expresses anxiety and frustation over his creative work.Īlthough the men’s intellectual banter is not for everyone (both were avid readers and reference obscure books and quotes, sometimes losing the reader in their philosophical musings), Gorey’s awesome illustrations are more than worth it. Having personally spent hours as a little girl getting lost in Gorey’s morbidly funny illustrations from The Gashlycrumb Tinies poster to books like The Doubtful Guest, I found it fascinating to read Gorey’s thoughts on his own work. Over 75 letters and 60 postcards offer a first-hand peek into their creative process and budding friendship and shed light on the man behind those humorously creepy, amazingly detailed crosshatch drawings.

Well, imagine you’ve just been assigned to work with the Edward Gorey. We all have that one person we’d love to work with - that dream creative collaborator. ©The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust, courtesy Pomegranate ().
