The Doubtful Guest Review

It's cute, it's quirky, it's fun to read.  I'm talking about The Doubtful Guest.  This is an Edward Gorey illustration.

The title itself, The Doubtful Guest, is confusing because I'm not sure why the guest is doubtful.  I'm not sure what the guest is, but he sure is cute.  He sulks around in corners and lays on the floor like a pouting child.  The art work is great in that old style and dark, in only the way Edward Gorey can be (morbid and intriguing but doesn't push you away).  While some of Edward Gorey's books are a little confusing and definitely keep you thinking, The Doubtful Guest is a fun, bizarre little read that you'll enjoy.

Edward Gorey books are a great treat for anyone who enjoys dark and a little morbid reading.  The Doubtful Guest is no different.
