    A Triple-threat Guy!
  

*by D***G on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2019*

Mr. Gorey is many things -- an funny story-teller, a master wordsmith and -- best of all, I think -- a very accomplished artist.  [I am reduced these days to using a magnifying glass to appreciate just how good!]  I bought this book, with some reservations, as a gift for a second-grader.  Because Gorey's books tend to be somewhat gory.  Just as the Grimms'  tales are quite grim, albeit not explicitly so.Anyway, I made an appropriate choice (as her mom, a physician) reassurecd me.  And I wasn't surprised.  When our daughter was in kindergarten, she insisted on being told a bedtime story.  And it was a task that befell me.  So I'd ask, "What kind of story do you want tonight?  One about a fairy princess?  One about a very pretty, smart girl whom everybody really liked?  Or one about a blood-thirsty werewolf?"  Well, you know the answer!And, as I spun the yarn, I morphosed slowly into the werewolf itself -- the, um, "protagonist"--  and I attacked her neck as I spoke!  And she screamed, of course, which prompted my wife's appearance, saying, "Alright you two -- break it up!"  To our daughter's protestations!  She wanted "Just five more minutes!  Okay, Mom?"BTW, if you want a first sampling of Gorey, select THE HAPLESS CHILD.!  Darkly funny, witn the emphasis on "darkly"!  That child was hapless, indeed.  As were her associates!  She had a long and sad tail, as Alice's Dormouse would tell us.

    Not just for kids!
  

*by P***M on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2021*

I bought this book as a lighthearted reminder that life is too precious to be worrying about what’s coming up. It’s my reminder to live for the day after negative circumstances.

    Too much fun for a simple bike

     Epipleptic Bicycle is my second favorite book right after the Gashlycrumb Tinies. The story of two siblings who go on an adventure on a found bicycle. Without revealing too much, there are a number of interpretations for such a simple book. But being that this is a Gorey, it is quite possible that they are all true. There is dark humor throughout and the possibility of demise. You might also enjoy a fairytale about a little girl and a haunted house in the tradition of Edward Gorey:
