E is for Edward (Gorey) who was gloomy and glorious. H is for Harvard (University) and Houghton (Library) where Edward’s malaise and macabre pen did and does good work. S is spectacular because that is what Edward was.

You think you know a few things about the US government and how we are barely holding onto democracy by a thread, and then you hear Reich talk. It’s much worse. But there’s still hope. 🤞 @harvardbookstore.bsky.social

I am a library assistant at Baker Library at Harvard University as well as a graduate student there in English. My studies focus on Aphra Behn & other 17th-century English women playwrights within Restoration Theatre, and using digital methods to present them. I also research vampire lore in cinema.
