Why read it?
1 author picked Amphigorey Too as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It would be impossible to create a list of morbidly whimsical books without including Edward Gorey, the uncontested master in this realm. While virtually any of Gorey’s books could be added to this list, his Amphigorey treasuries are the most efficient way for new readers to browse through his books.

Furthermore, it also contains a couple of my favourite Gorey tales: The Beastly Baby and The Inanimate Tragedy.
From Landis' list on morbidly whimsical illustrated stories.
