Edward Gorey

Today I read this book by Edward Gorey. Its a bunch of short stories. Some are unsettling like "Loathsome Couple", "Stupid Joke", "Blue ". I guess he is more famous for his dark, melancholy writing. There are some which make little sense in what he was trying to convey like the story about one guy loosing his umbrella later to be found by his dog. I enjoyed the rhymes and his take on alphabets.
