Edward Gorey, born on February 22, 1925, in Chicago, was an American illustrator and writer known for his distinctive pen-and-ink drawings and darkly whimsical stories. After studying at Harvard, Gorey moved to New York City, where he worked for Doubleday Anchor, designing book covers and illustrating books.
In 1953, he published his first book, "The Unstrung Harp." Over his career, he wrote and illustrated over a hundred books, including well-known titles like "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" and "The Doubtful Guest." Gorey also designed sets and costumes for Broadway, winning a Tony Award for the 1977 production of "Dracula."
Known for his eccentric personality, Gorey spent his later years in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where he continued to create art until his death on April 15, 2000. His unique style and morbid humor have left a lasting impact on the world of illustration and literature.
