Beloved for the boundless imagination and sharp humor exhibited in his more than 100 published works, Edward Gorey has left​ an undeniable stamp on American art and culture. Imbued with​ a profound affection for literature, film, ballet, and animals, his​ humorously unsettling drawings of vaguely Victorian innocents​ facing unfortunate ends became familiar to a wide audience after​ appearing in the opening credits of the PBS television series​ Mystery!​ Gorey brought to life enigmatic, humorous tales from​ the laboratory of his mind as set and costume designer for theater productions, including a staging of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, for​ which he won a Tony. His Cape Cod home, a veritable cabinet of​ curiosities, is now a museum celebrating his life and work.
