Edward Gorey 2026 Wall Calendar

Beloved for the boundless imagination and sharp humor exhibited in his more than 100 published works, Edward Gorey has left an undeniable stamp on American art and culture. Imbued with a profound affection for literature, film, ballet, and animals, his humourously unsettling drawings of vaguely Victorian innocents facing unfortunate ends became familiar to a wide audience after appearing in the opening credits of the PBS television series "Mystery1" Gorey brought to life enigmatic, humourous tales from the laboratory of his mind as set and costume designer for theater productions, including a staging of Bram Stoker`s Dracula, for which he won a Tony. His Cape Cod home, a veritable cabinet of curiosities, is now a museum celebrating his life and work.
