The Envelope Please:  Edward Gorey, master of the mischievously macabre, shared a decades-long friendship and correspondence with Peter Neumeyer, a writer and professor whose childrens’ books he illustrated. Luckily for us they communicated via snail mail. Gorey’s fantastical envelopes, along with sketches, illustrations, and manuscripts, are reproduced in Floating Worlds, via Pomegranate Books.   ©The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust, courtesy Pomegranate (pomegranate.com)
