Of the 3 Edward Gorey collections so far, this is my least favorite. Even saying that, there are still some great stories in this collection. I thought ‘the Blue Aspic, the ‘Epiplectic Bicycle’ and the ‘Sopping Thursday’ were great stories. There were also several stories in here that didn’t work for me. There were a few other stories too.
I still want to add this book to my collection someday. There are better places to start than this one though.

Less fun than the first and second collections less nonsense and limericks. Mostly I think of Gorey's characters as people-to-whom-things-happen, and of course, they read like characters from Victorian and Edwardian novels. I love The Utter Zoo and the little butterfly-doggy creatures and Bruno from The Sopping Thursday and the sweater-sporting dogs of L'Heure Bleu. The Awdry-Gore Legacy is spot-on. But The Loathsome Couple is too much like true crime books, which I avoid these days. It is
Gobbled this up in a day! So bizarre and addicting and brilliant and just plain other. Also disturbing? But oh my gosh, I am LOVING Edward Gorey and can't wait to read and see more of his work. I especially liked the first half of this graphic novel -- The Utter Zoo and The Epiplectic Bicycle were particular favorites.
Delightful nonsense also.
A collection of some of Gorey's lesser known works. Gorey, of course, being known for his dark humor, whimsy, and incredibly detailed pen and ink crosshatching. Let me attempt to describe these for you.The Utter Zoo - Alphabet filled with fantastic creatures and rhymes. I love that he only shows about half the creatures. That is, not all of them are shown, and many are only half visible. That's one of the best things about Gorey's art; he only shows as much as you need to see.The Blue Aspic -
As much as I love Gorey's work, this book shows his tendency to return to the same wells one too many times. The dark whimsy, alphabetical games, and silly wordplay only go so far this time around, but there are still a few gems, esp. The Stupid Joke. Absolutely worth a look for fans, but there's a fair bit of dross here.
