## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very, very Gorey!
  

*by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2019*

I love both the concept, and Gorey's inimitable implementation!This "story" consists of 20 cards, each with an illustration depicting the sentence in the story. For example (a personal favorite!) "Amanda found several unfolded napkins on a back shelf." Each sentence is rife with meaning- but WHAT meaning??? Well, that's left to the reader!The illustrations are wonderfully Gorey, and the sentences beg to be put into a context and thus a narrative!Great fun, especially for Gorey fans!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Unique "book"

It's Edward Gorey- quirky and fun.

    Cute idea and Gorey... but they weren't ...
  

*by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2017*

Cute idea and Gorey ... but they weren't at all sealed, which seemed odd when giving them as a gift.
