[@digitized_soul]

I went there just a couple of days ago! I thought his work was amazing! I truly adore him, he's my favorite artist.

[@PeepShowPussyCat]

You have a nice reading voice. ^___^ Thats one of my favorite's. Thanks.

At the Gorey House Museum, here on Cape Cod, the Ghstlycrumb Tinies have been made into items in a scavenger hunt for you to look for throughout the home. For example, there are legs sticking out from under a rug for George! Lots of fun!

Edward Gorey's exhibit: 'Elegant Enigmas' coming to an art museum near you. (McNay Art Museum in San Antonio through September 13, 2009) We took the family yesterday. Interesting art, a little twisted. The Wuggly Ump, The Tuning Fork, etc. Tony award winning costume designer. He also illustrated TS Elliot's 'Old Possum's book of Practical Cats' which later became the 'CATS' musical.

Great clip!

Omg, Kate always scared the s*** outta me!

[@groundcat]

The Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey. You can buy it as a book or it's also included in the compliation "Amphigorey"

[@karmacappa]

Why would it need an accent from England? Edward Gorey was born in Chicago and lived in the United States his entire life. In fact, he never even visited England. This is an American work, not an English work.

I know exactly where I want to go for a birthday event now!

Brental floss brought me here and this, this is creepy. So much for sleeping. Good thing I'm at pax east.

[@groundcat]

@ysa722 it's "Echoes" from the band Pink Floyd's 1971 album "Meddle".

[@flyinspirals]

What a coincidence; I was just dying of ennui myself.

[@groundcat]

Pink Floyd "Echoes" from their album Meddle.

[@him6661]

i am actually animating this excellent story. it is pretty much done with the exception of the sound effects. i think you all will be quite happy with my work! (coming soon)

[@csnygfrguesswho]

I wish i could find a version of the Gashlycrumb Tinies read by Vincent Price, it would probably be my favorite vid of all time!

[@sweetlikehoney31]

why is that all character in the stories are children died violently???

[@angelicahmabon3134]

This was from the early 1960's,when kids were REALly getting killed,maimed,hurt,and he was hoping to prevent this with this work,call attention to it,in the hopes of preventing more kids from getting traumatized,maimed,and murdered to relieve the ,uh,ennui,of sadists and pedophiles.

[@ysa722]

@groundcat I meant that I found the vid of them performing "Echoes", but I couldn't find the specific part of the song that you used as background music. Anyways, I don't need it anymore XD Thanks, btw.

[@pamdemic]

i love this....hehehe made me smile

[@RockOfGreece]

the song it's huge girl

[@ToddonCapeCod]

That's Cape Cod, MA. It's only $5.00 to get in

[@QueenBoadicea]

Edward Gorey is known for his macabre, creepy and off-kilter story. Some of his stories do deal with children who die young. It's just part of his writing style. If that's your sort of thing, you'll really smile at his books. If not, best to avoid it and stick with Harlequin romances. ;D

[@GirlintheWater]

hehehehe wat a dreaded beautiful book... where is this from?

[@ysa722]

I can't find the background music you speak of. :|

[@bouleauxdesuede]

what is the background "music"?

[@kateam1975]

i love the and i don't know y i thank it funny

[@StoneTemp1Pilot]

wow, creepy

[@Stantzs]

But its set in victorian style , I dont know, I think it's designed for an english accent as well. That or Morgan Freeman, anything he speaks on turns to gold.

[@emidore]

I don't understand the point of doing the Gashlycrumb Tinies this way. The pages flip by a little too fast and it sounds like it's being recited without much thought about the content...as if the lines are just being read normally for a school assignment.

[@Neoklaki]

I agree. The idea is good, but there's really no enthusiasm in the voice and it's being rushed way too fast.

[@alistairdremora6471]

This would be even better if you read this in a British or Scottish accent. And put emotion into it.

[@RockOfGreece]

really?
