review 1: Keep looking at this...it grows on you!, 22 Oct 2014This review is from: The West Wing (Hardcover)Thirty strange b/w drawings of room interiors, each requiring you to look and use your imagination to see what (might) be going on: a shadow on a wall of an apparently levitating woman; a ghostly face peering through a window and a letter on the floor; two (handkerchiefs?) flying; a candle apparently flying through the air... The more I looked at this, the more I liked it.
review 2: I wish I could give this one ten stars. Edward Gorey has always been a fav, LOVE his stories and his illustrations... but this little wordless piece just stripped my breath away. (And I mean that in the very best sense.)Twenty Four panels; silently, darkly, ominously touring us through
... morethe rooms and corridors of The West WingPages seventeen, and twenty three especially. Wow. less

Wonderfully evocative, eerie, wordless book about the haunted rooms of an old house.

A glimpse into what a Gorey silent movie might look like.
