Edward Gorey's darkly humorous reflections and illustrations possess an irresistible yet disquieting allure. A dedicated movie enthusiast, he was rumored to find Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour" hilariously entertaining, while expressing a less favorable view towards later Hitchcock films, deeming them "bloated." In his later years, Gorey delved into theatrical pursuits, treating fortunate audiences to his dementedly delightful hand-puppet shows, aptly termed "entertainments," complete with an impressive array of 200 hand-sewn costumes. Among his literary preferences, "The Tale of Genji" held a special place as his favorite book.
