Originally published in 1974, The Glorious Nosebleed is one of Edward Gorey's classic books. A darkly humorous winding path of black and white illustrations and vague descriptions from, "She wandered among the trees Aimlessly," to "He wrote it all down Zealously," this laconic alphabetic adventure will leave you both scratching your head and begging for more. Described in the original printing as, "An Exemplary Alphabet for Connoisseurs of Syntax, Semantics and Subtleties," dive deep with Gorey into the chaotic and unpredictable world of his unique mind and art in The Glorious Nosebleed.
