Every day should be Edward Gorey day.

vintageanchor:

Happy birthday to former Anchor Books cover designer (and artist of the macabre) Edward Gorey (1925).  From 1953 to 1960, Gorey lived in New York City and worked for the Art Department of Doubleday & Company and Anchor Books, illustrating book covers and in some cases adding illustrations to the text. He illustrated works as diverse as Dracula by Bram Stoker, The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells, and Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot.
