Editorial Review:
Product Description:
An alphabetical phantasmagoria in which a succession of infants meet dreadful ends.
Amazon.com Review:
"A is for Amy who fell down the stairs. B is for Basil assaulted by bears. C is for Clara who wasted away. D is for Desmond thrown out of a sleigh..." The rhyming couplets of this grim abecedarian are familiar, of course, to devotees of macabre humor, but the darkly crosshatched drawings are (as Poe put it) "the soul of the plot." Several years went by during which The Gashlycrumb Tinies: Or, After the Outing was not available in a small hardcover edition like this one, which is the true format for Edward Gorey's specialty, the adult picture book. (For those who wish to share the gloom there's a 10-copy assortment with The Curious Sofa.)

- Morbid-tastic"The Gashlycrumb Tinies" details the gruesome/improbable fates of Amy to Zillah in the style of a childrens' alphabet book. However, it's definitely not for children young enough to be learning the alphabet, unless you want them to have nightmares or to turn out really creepy. That being said, if you have an irreverent and quirky sense of humor, you'll find it hilarious. And, you'll learn to be careful not to be done in by a thug or die of ennui. Really.

- Gashlycrumb Tinies is Great!I bought three of these books as gifts for three retiring teachers -- they are so funny. An ABC book of odd outcomes for students. Love them.

- The Gashleycrumb TiniesThe Gashleycrumb Tinies is macabre yet hilarious. It's about children meeting untimely absurd demise but with a sense of dark humor. it needs to be taken the way it is meant. It really is quite clever with the wording and causes of death It is done by alphabetical names. examples are S in for Susan who perished of fits, L is for Leo who swallowed some tacks and N is for Neville who died of ennui(boredome). See very clever. By the way I am a 38 year old mother of two and find this hilarious. ... Read More

The illustrations are very well done and the rhymes are genuis! i think my favorite kid is Basil who was assaulted by bears.. \hahhahhahha... that makes me burst into laughter again! seriously, if you like macabre hilarity, take a few minutes off and ENJOY THIS BOOK! (There is no graphic or adult images but the ideas would be very frightening for young children. ... Read More
