Read "The Object-Lesson", "The Bug Book", and "The Fatal Lozenge" - the first is so random, I'm not quite sure I like it. The second is fine, but odd drawing style for Gorey. The last is best of the three with an alphabetical theme.

Read "The Doubtful Guest" - weird and classic. So much better than the last book.

Read "The Listing Attic", which contains 60 vignettes. Of those, 7 are violent acts against women, 6 against children, 2 against men, and 2 against unknown genders/ages (11 of 17 by or because of adult men). the difference between how adult men are treated versus children and adult women is so stark in this one. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised based on his other works?

Read "The Unstrung Harp" - interesting insight into the writer's mind during the writing and publication process.
