This book combines two of Gorey's Thoughtful Alphabets (long out of print) in one volume never before published in hardcover. In each, Gorey's twenty-six-word stories (wherein the first word begins with A, the last with Z) weave a tale of suspense and intrigue; the story proceeds as the alphabet progresses.

*Gorey's deft and witty use of language is apparent even in these twenty-six-word stories.

*The book combines two of Gorey's Thoughtful Alphabets in one volume never before published in hardcover.

*A must-have for all Goreyphiles!
