About This Item
First trade edition, with the 4.95 price on the dust wrapper. [Toledano A67c].
SIGNED ON THE TITLE PAGE BY EDWARD GOREY. "This book may well prove to be the author's moat unpleasant ever." - Quoted from the dust wrapper copy.
Synopsis
From inside the book's front flap: "This book may well prove to be its author's most unpleasant ever." This tells the tale of a psycopathic couple whose "life's work" is to murder children. Gorey's Victorian Gothic satires are generally humorous, yet this one is exceedingly creepy and malevolent.
