Culture jamming brought me here- Gorey perhaps being the wittiest and most elegant hacker and slasher of them all.

Hidden gem, this lecture

I very much enjoyed your talk. Became a Gorey fan myself 51 years ago at the age of 9, when my mother brought home from the library a book called "Hauntings: Tales of the Supernatural," which was full of spooky Gorey drawings.Enjoyed your book as well!

Interesting lecture, much appreciated! I've been a Gorey fan since the late '80s, he really was unlike anything else; since spawning any number of imitators and basically founding his own genre. Incredible man with an incredible imagination. I even had his "Dracula Damask" wallpaper reproduced for the front hall of my house, since it was basically impossible to find original rolls.

What a great find. 😊

Beautifully presented! Thank you immensely.

Thank you for this wonderful portrayal

Thank you so so much for this. Lovely talk!

Very great interview1 Thank you!

Great talk! Deeply profound!

Thank you very much! I have discovered Edward Gorey just yesterday, and due to your video I know about this amazing person and artist so much more

Fascinating study of Gorey. Ty so much. Liked, shared and subscribed! :)

loooooooooooooooooooooooooved this talk! soooooooooooooooooooooooooo womderful!

Very interesting, thank you for putting this together.

About the age of 11 I discovered Edward Gore's the love some couple side by side with TS Elliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. I have been in love with the absurd macabre and just plain weird especially when put into art book bindings ever since.

Such a well-done lecture!

I remember Edward Gorey’s illustrations from the PBS show “Mystery!” in the 90s, the dancers at the ball were from The Blue Aspic, & I noticed that the baron & Mirella Splatova from The Gilded Bat were at the ball too. The building that the woman was on in the intro was from The West Wing, & the library in The West Wing was in that intro too.

Really Great Mark! Thanks for this!

Fabulous, I would have asked about the Addams family tv show and Outcault of Yellow Kid and Buster Brown, as to what he thought of them. Loved all the insight into a favorite pre occupation

Great talk! 💖

This is awesome! Thank you!

I just started reading the tome. Loving it.

Correction, the man lying on the floor in The West Wing was in the library in the “Mystery!” intro.

excellent

Bang-up video production ol mug

I just finished your book and very much enjoyed it.

I encountered Edward Gorey through John Bellairs books....they made the books that much more special

nightmare before christmas brought me here lol bro you're really smart

love, love eg!

That would be a "dressing gown".

I watched the whole vid. I've read every Gorey story plus several thick books about Edward Gorey (haven't read yours yet), but there's one area that never seems to attract much comment and I've wondered why this is. Perhaps most people prefer to overlook and pass it by: it's Gorey's most oft-recurring figure, the Black Doll. Maybe its dark anonymity needs to be preserved, lonely and pure, with no words tainting or blemishing its being. Any thoughts?

I am dying of ennui.

That picture you estimate to be in 1955 or 56. Couldn't be because he'd have been 9/10. If he died at 75 in 2020 then he was born in 1945, right? Or did I hear wrong

Its only a doorstopper because the fonts so bloody big
