Are you tired of heroes and heroines who are so glorious and shiny they make your teeth hurt? Do stories with happy endings leave you yawning with boredom? Then you'll love "Tales of the Truly Grotesque" by Professor Odysseus Malodorus. The first story, "The Stench of Sulphur Swamp" skews reality as we know it so completely that what is very wrong at the beginning seems very right by the end. This is a nonsensical non-reality that reaches into the stenchiest corners of our imaginations and uncovers tidbits of grotesquery so abnormal that we shudder to claim them as our own. The primary (and in one case, primate) characters reflect the hidden potential for rightness that can lie beneath the dark layers of wrongness. Emmett Golem, Joan of Arkansas, and Hamlet are misfits on the edge of a society with little tolerance for unique gifts and talents. On their own, they are freaks of nature, the last kids anyone would invite to a party or hang out at the mall with; but together, they make a... See less

Hard To Find! Hot Item! Brand New! Hard to Find! The 2007 Edward Gorey Mystery Wall Calendar features seventeen little known Gorey masterpieces - some of which have never been published before. “Some of are associated with the long running PBS series Mystery, for which Gorey designed the opening animation, others are from a lithographic print series; and a few appear to be simply the products of the artist’s wish to amuse himself and anyone else who happened upon them. All are untitled, but their casual descriptions - “Baby Toss,” “A Weekend At Sepulchre” - should tell you what to expect: a year’s worth of grins courtesy of the great Gorey.” quote provided by publisher. The Edward Gorey Mystery Wall Calendar is full of wonderfully detailed, amusing and fascinating drawings. One look as this calendar will not only tickle your funny bone but prove that even five years after his death Edward Gorey is still the master of gothic and morbid one liners and of the lost art of pen and ink...

Hard To Find! Supplies Limited! Hot item!! Hard To Find! The 2007 Edward Gorey RARE Engagement Calendar is here! "A master of whimsical gothic genre, the great Edward Gorey is widely renowned for such compact epics as The Gashlycrumb Tines, The Deranged Cousins, Neglected Murderesses and The Blue Aspic. But Gorey (1925-2000) worked in many forms, and on diverse and sometimes obscure projects. Leaving aside his award-winning designs for theater sets and the classic animation designs that open PBS series Mystery, he illustrated other people’s books (notably, a special edition of T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats). Gorey has published several alphabet books and innumerable drawings and prints for the amusement of himself and his friends.” Quote provided by publisher.

Edward Gorey's dark subversion of children's alphabet books is a tiny book guaranteed to bring a sinister smile to the face of every one with a twisted sense of humor. Opening with "A is for Amy who fell down the stairs" and running all the way to "Z is for Zilla who drank too much gin," the simple but inspired rhymes combine with Gorey's pseudo-Victorian Gothic crosshatch illustrations to wickedly funny effect. Although his disaster-specific illustrations (such as "R is Rhoda consumed by a fire") are macabrely witty, Gorey is really at his best when he leaves the most to your imagination. Consequently, it is really his illustrations of impending doom ("P is for Prue trampled flat in a brawl") or the shocking aftermath of an unknown circumstance ("K is for Kate who was struck with an ax") that are most likely to inspire a mischievous grin. Although you might not want to give this to your anxiety-prone niece or your traumatized stepson as a Christmas stocking stuffer unless you wish to... See less

From Library Journal Jonathan Argyll, British art dealer and sleuth, delivers an obscure 18th-century painting to a Parisian dealer's client in Rome. The client, however, ends up dead. Argyll and his fiancee, Flavia de Stefano, pursue the murderer as well as information about the painting. A solidly enjoyable series. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From AudioFile Jonathan Argyll, Italian art dealer, trades a favor with a French dealer and agrees to deliver a painting of the judgement of Socrates to Italy. Before you know it, the receiver of the painting is murdered, and Argyll is involved with the French and Italian police. Howard's narration takes us across the continent from Switzerland to England, from WWII to the present. Pears weaves a tale as tangled as spaghetti. What triggered the murders? Who is telling the truth? Howard's strong voice and characterizations neatly tie together the... See less

Don't Drink the Water An Ian Pears' view of ever-romantic Venice never lets readers forget they are in a watery wasteland. However appealing visually, the downside is very dirty water, water everywhere. You can't get "there" from "here" without crossing the canals, and God forbid you should ever, ever fall in! The protagonists fall in the canals, suffer from seasickness, and root around in sub-basements never meant to be seen by the tourists. The plot is secondary to the fun and the easy-to-digest art history that author Pears provides. Gorgeous, volatile Flavia and diffident Jonathan (think Hugh Grant) team up to investigate the endangered members of the prestigious Titian Committee, who are being picked off one-by-one. Their directive is to bring the investigation to a speedy, expedient closure that will make the various Italian bureaucracies look good. Solving the crime is secondary. As Flavia's marvelous superior General Bottando informs her when she triumphantly states she has... See less

I first read "Instance of the Fingerpost" by this author and was anxious to see how he'd handle a shorter work. I was somewhat disappointed, though I enjoyed the book and may read more in the series. Some of the characters (Argyll, the series protagonist, and the detectives) are well developed and drawn deeply. Also, the art history and world of art dealing are interesting and covered well. The author is gifted in his use of small details which make characters and milieu come alive. If you have been to Italy, his use of sites and situations (such as the cars squeezed onto a lane barely wide enough for pedestrians) is charming. However, the suspects are not developed overly well, probably so we do not figure out who the criminal is. Which leads to the other weakness of the book -- the mystery. It is not very compelling, nor is it particularly well laid out, and so the denoument is neither surprising nor particularly interesting. Since there are not many books (let alone mysteries) set...

This is the second Iain Pears book I have read, but it is the first of the Jonathan Argyll mysteries that I have read. I was intrigued by the premise of mixing the art world with mystery and was plesantly surprised that such a caper is possible; and why not, with all the instances of fraud that go on in the art world? Iain Pears is a talented writer with a gift for crafting quick paced mysteries (short or long) that involve the reader in the action. Jonathan Argyll, a somewhat inept seller of art, is stuck in Los Angeles, awaiting payment on a Titian he has sold to the Moresby Museum. While he awaits authentication and payment, the owner of the museum turns up murdered and the list of suspects seems especially long, with Jonathan unwittingly finding himself the target of the killer. Working alongside the American detective Morelli, Jonathan enlists the help of his friend Flavia di Stefano to not only track down the killer, but to also uncover the mystery of a Bernini bust. The bust was... See less

I approached this book with a certain amount of resolve, as my only other outing with Iain Pears was "Instance of the Fingerpost" which while fascinating, was quite complex. "Giotto's Hand" was instead, a very nice diversion. Mr. Pears proves he cannot be pigeonholed into one writing category. Jonathan & Flavia are a delightful twosome headquartered in Rome, but over half the action takes place in a small village in England. The author is obviously well grounded in the style and flavor of both places. His descriptions of the wiles of Italian bureaucracy are priceless. He has a fine ear for dialogue (see following) and wittiness in comparison between the English vs. Italian spirit: Flavia: "Why would anyone sneer at someone being charming? Jonathan: "Because this is England, my dear, and that's what we do here." F: "Why? I like people to be charming." J.: "But you're Italian. In this country charm means you're superficial, have a tendency to flattery, are probably a bumptious social... See less
