amazing!

ever since compleatbellairs went down (or got really spotty), I've been mostly unable to find the original gorey illustrations for those books online. it really, honestly, makes me grieve.

What is that picture from?

 

[Josh Seipp]

THE EYES OF THE KILLER ROBOT by John Bellairs!

Recommend Edward Gorey books!

the mummy, the will, and the crypt
the house with the clock in its walls
the eyes of the killer robot
the spell of the sorcerer's skull
the curse of the blue figurine
the revenge of the wizard's ghost
the manision in the mist

none of which are actually gorey books, but many of which are (to me) better than gorey books: bellairs books with lots of gorey illustrations!

p.s. don't buy the neo, non-gorey versions.

 

[inkybmistro]

thanks, books illustrated by him is exactly what i thought i meant.

I thought thats what is was! I've been trying to remember what the names of those books and their authors were for like 3 years, I read them all the time when I was in like 5th grade and I couldn't remember the authors name. Thanks guys!

Particularly when I got into Goreys artwork I wanted to find those books 'cause I thought he probably illustrated them
