A writer and illustrator, the late Edward Gorey, had a book called Amphigorey. His wordplay was delightful, especially his alphabetical poems that were macabre send-ups of children's literature. At the risk of changing the subject of this thread, I wonder if there are any other Gorey fans here on A.W.A.D.
