AUTHOR'S NOTE: This book has been replaced by a fuller account of Edward Gorey's theatrical work, Edward Gorey On Stage: Playwright, Director, Designer, Performer: a Multimedia Memoir, available in both print and e-book formats. How to classify the extraordinary Edward Gorey? Artist? Writer? Dark humorist? What about Dramatist? It was in theatre that Gorey's public career started and finished. As a postwar Harvard University student, he and his friends Frank O'Hara, Alison Lurie, John Ashbery, and others created the legendary Poets' Theatre. After winning a Tony Award on Broadway for Frank Langella's Dracula, Gorey left New York for Cape Cod. From Woods Hole to Provincetown, he wrote, designed, and directed a scintillating set of "entertainments" starring local actors and his own troupe of handmade puppets. Chief producer of Gorey's plays was his friend and neighbor Carol Verburg. Now she tells how he did it. From "The Helpless Doorknob" and "The Gilded Bat" to "Horror at Hamstrung Hall" and "Porptiga," she chronicles Gorey's adventures in drama, puppetry, opera, and even (briefly) acting.

Most fans of the artist Edward Gorey know him as the author of lavishly drawn, sparely plotted little books in which hapless characters come to unpleasant ends. But if you happened to be in the right place at the right time, you might know him as a dramatist. From Boston's Poets' Theatre to New York's Broadway, and from Bourne to Provincetown on Cape Cod, Edward Gorey applied his distinctive wit to writing and directing plays for actors and puppets--occasionally including himself. This short memoir is an affectionate chronicle of Gorey's theatrical experiments by the friend, neighbor, and artistic collaborator who produced most of them. Illustrated with rare drawings, photographs, script excerpts, film clips, and even music created for Gorey's twenty-odd "entertainments."

The definitive biography of Edward Gorey, the eccentric master of macabre nonsense. From The Gashlycrumb Tinies to The Doubtful Guest, Edward Gorey's wickedly funny and deliciously sinister little books have influenced our culture in innumerable ways, from the works of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman to Lemony Snicket. Some even call him the Grandfather of Goth. But who was this man, who lived with over twenty thousand books and six cats, who roomed with Frank O'Hara at Harvard, and was known -- in the late 1940s, no less -- to traipse around in full-length fur coats, clanking bracelets, and an Edwardian beard? An eccentric, a gregarious recluse, an enigmatic auteur of whimsically morbid masterpieces, yes -- but who was the real Edward Gorey behind the Oscar Wildean pose? He published over a hundred books and illustrated works by Samuel Beckett, T.S. Eliot, Edward Lear, John Updike, Charles Dickens, Hilaire Belloc, Muriel Spark, Bram Stoker, Gilbert & Sullivan, and others. At the same time, he was a deeply complicated and conflicted individual, a man whose art reflected his obsessions with the disquieting and the darkly hilarious. Based on newly uncovered correspondence and interviews with personalities as diverse as John Ashbery, Donald Hall, Lemony Snicket, Neil Gaiman, and Anna Sui, Born to Be Posthumous draws back the curtain on the eccentric genius and mysterious life of Edward Gorey.

Renowned as an artist, author, and godfather of Goth, Edward Gorey was first and last a dramatist. This ingenious multimedia memoir is a homage to his famous pop-up books, and a rare backstage tour of his lifelong involvement in theater. From Harvard, where Gorey and roommate Frank O'Hara helped found the Poets' Theatre, to New York, where he designed the Tony-award-winning costumes and sets for Frank Langella's Dracula, to Cape Cod, where he steered his troupe of actors and puppets through twenty-odd original "entertainments," Edward Gorey delighted in uncoiling weird little stories into four-dimensional mini-dramas. Some were his familiar alphabet books and tales such as The Insect God and The Curious Sofa; others, such as Blithering Christmas, he composed specifically for venues from Provincetown to Cotuit to Woods Hole. This affectionate recap by his longtime friend and collaborator CJ Verburg is a great gift to any Edward Gorey fan: full of rare original drawings and notes, color photographs, script and review excerpts, and live links to film clips of Gorey himself performing onstage.

Theater on the Cape began in 1916 when a group of artists and writers in Provincetown mounted a production of a one-act play, Bound East for Cardiff, by a little-known playwright, Eugene O'Neill. They staged the play in a rickety old theater on a wharf in what was then little more than a sleepy fishing village. From that artists' colony--and others like it across the Cape and Islands--it grew into the constantly expanding theater universe it is today. The theatrical descendants of O'Neill and the Provincetown Players continue to present classical drama, contemporary hits and new, experimental works to audiences that have come to expect the best. In her tour of the theaters from Provincetown to Falmouth, author and entertainment columnist Sue Mellen reveals the rich past behind a unique cultural treasure.

The first literary rock-&-roll mystery -- with live music! "The music is exhilarating, the romance is hot, and the mystery is challenging." "Fast paced, smoothly written, and enjoyable . . . Highly recommended." (See full reviews below) As the journalist daughter of a New York detective, Cory Goodwin's response to her crumbling marriage is to tackle a tough investigation. Twenty years ago, lead singer Mickey Ascher of Boston's top rock-protest band, The Rind, was slaughtered in his Back Bay penthouse. Guitarist-songwriter Dan Quasi disappeared. Now Unsolved Mysteries is reopening the cold case. That poses a killer threat to Hands Across the Sea, Boston's international exchange program for upscale professionals. Cory's editor at Phases wants her to find out if their goodwill trip to a Mystery Destination, headlined by a Mystery Band, is a crock or a scoop. But what tips the scale for Cory is learning that the Mystery Destination is Paris, where she met her husband, and the Mystery Band is headed by her old crush Dan Quasi. Why would a former rock-&-roll legend, antiwar ringleader, and murder suspect choose the Eiffel Tower and EuroDisney for an off-the-radar comeback? Cory's quest for answers pits Hands Across the Sea's musical mystery tour against her own search for lost time. With drugs, sex, and long-buried grudges exploding around the band like land mines, the nostalgia trip turns frightening, then fatal. Now Cory can't escape her father's question: Who killed Mickey Ascher? Another Number for the Road includes four original songs embedded in both the print and e-book. Don't miss this intoxicating multimedia adventure!
