As Gorey himself explained in the original edition, this shuffle story is “made up of 20 cards which can be read in 2,432,902,069,736,640,000 different ways.”  Each card features an illustration with a declarative sentence, usually featuring a character whose name begins with A (Agatha, Amanda, Andrew, Adela, Angus, Alfred, Ambrose, Alethea, Arthur, to be precise), each of whom does something notable or not (wrote a note, vanished from a picnic). Shuffle these cards to reveal a story that may or may not make sense to you—but will entertain you every time, nonetheless.","brand":"Pomegranate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39924339802302,"sku":"AA916","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/0297\/7982\/files\/AA916_03_e075ff29-ecf7-4e17-b2e0-e7b6af571109.jpg?v=1763021401"},{"product_id":"the-fantod-pack-by-edward-gorey","title":"The Fantod Pack by Edward Gorey","description":"Edward Gorey’s trademark sense of impending doom is nowhere more darkly humorous than in this, his version of a tarot card deck. Each of the 20 cards forecasts a list of outcomes for the user, ranging from the merely unpleasant (loss of hair, breakage, thwarted ambitions) to the downright horrible (catarrh, spasms, shriveling). The 32-page booklet provides interpretation of the cards courtesy of one Madame Groeda Weyrd, who Gorey tells us “is of mixed Finnish and Egyptian extraction, has devoted her life to divination, and is the author of, among a shelf of other works, Floating Tambourines, a collection of esoteric verse, and The Future Speaks Through Entrails.” Who but Gorey to make mirth from a kaleidoscope of catastrophe?","brand":"Pomegranate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39924343668926,"sku":"AA423","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/0297\/7982\/files\/AA423_03.jpg?v=1763021410"},{"product_id":"edward-goreys-dracula-a-toy-theatre","title":"Edward Gorey's Dracula: A Toy Theatre","description":"This ingenious toy theatre is based on Edward Gorey’s set and costume designs for his award-winning production of \u003cem\u003eDracula\u003c\/em\u003e, which ran to nearly a thousand Broadway performances. Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel took place in the wild Carpathian Mountains, London and rural England, and various places in between. But the \u003cem\u003eDracula\u003c\/em\u003e for which Edward Gorey created the set designs reproduced in miniature here compresses the action to one locale: the sanatorium of Dr. Seward, near the town of Purley, somewhere in the English countryside.\r\rGorey’s signature crosshatch, exquisitely detailed drawings set the perfect mood for the three rooms featured in this set—which also includes his costumed characters and stage furniture (a tomb, a bed, two rugs, and a couch.

They soon realize their mistake, as harrowing sounds and evidence of foul play emerge. When humongous hairy bugs, famished carnivorous plants, ferocious fruit-guarding bears, and a sinister strangling snake take charge, the family’s ominous feelings turn to full-on panic—but where’s the exit? Edward Gorey leads us through this nefarious garden with a light step. His unmistakable drawings paired with engaging couplets produce giggles, not gasps. Perhaps \u003cem\u003eThe Evil Garden\u003c\/em\u003e is a morality tale; perhaps it’s simply an enigmatic entertainment. Whatever the interpretation, it’s a prime example of the iconic storytelling genius that is Edward Gorey.","brand":"Pomegranate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40128578683070,"sku":"A195","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/0297\/7982\/files\/A195_03_977dced3-544f-4bfe-be98-83a9b51760a9.jpg?v=1759216635"},{"product_id":"john-updike-and-edward-gorey-the-twelve-terrors-of-christmas","title":"John Updike and Edward Gorey: The Twelve Terrors of Christmas","description":"Two American masters team up to tickle your funny bone in this little stocking stuffer. Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist John Updike wrote the text, which, among other holiday musings, questions the motives of Santa Claus: “A man of no plausible address, with no apparent source for his considerable wealth, comes down the chimney after midnight while decent, law-abiding citizens are snug in their beds—is this not, at the least, cause for alarm?” And Updike’s jaundiced take on Christmas is perfectly complemented by the darkly humorous drawings of Edward Gorey, whose trademark anxious naifs are here beset by ubiquitous yuletide misfortune.
