Description

The Glorious Nosebleed trips through the alphabet with illustrations that are both strikingly funny, and a bit weird, all the way from "She wandered among the trees Aimlessly" to "He wrote it all down Zealously." A classic of Gorey's imaginative and darkly humorous mind.

Reviews

'Gorey's unique talent should be represented as completely as possible in every collection of American art and literature.' Booklist 'Irresistible black-and-white drawings...irrepressible wordplay.' New York Times '[Gorey creates] dark masterpieces of surreal morality...beautifully depicted.' Vanity Fair 'One of the most original artistic and literary minds in late 20th Century America.' Los Angeles Times
