The Glorious Nosebleed

. A cumulation of Edward Gorey’s love for bons mots and the bizarre, The Glorious Nosebleed is his fifth abecedarium, originally published in 1974.

Described in the original printing as “An Exemplary Alphabet for Connoisseurs of Syntax, Semantics and Subtleties,” The Glorious Nosebleed is the manifestation of Gorey’s clever mind and unique art. Dive deep into the chaos and unpredictability of this literary labyrinth. Who knows what—or who—will be waiting for you at the end?
