Chapter One
A very "Gorey" Story: A Macabre Alphabet Book of Dreadful Ends, a witty and disquieting journey from A to Z.
In 1963, prolific illustrator and writer Edward Gorey published an alphabet book so grimly antithetical to the very premise of the genre — making children feel comfortable and inspiring them to learn — that it took the macabre humor genre to a new level. Written in sprightly dactylic couplets, The Gashlycrumb Tinies was inspired, said Gorey, by “those 19th century cautionary tales, I guess, though my book is punishment without misbehavior.”
It is the story of 26 children (each representing a letter of the alphabet) and their untimely, weird, and mundane deaths. None of them come out of it alive. But we don’t really see the deaths of any of the children, only the events that occured right before, which ironically makes it all the more eerie.

The Tinies is a digitized hand-drawn and manually optimized illustration series, commissioned explicitly for Fabled. The collection is inspired by the notorious abecedarian children’s book The Gashlycrumb Tinies by the award-winning writer/illustrator Edward Gorey.
The Tinies welcome dark humor and thrive on impactful storytelling.
The inscriptions have maintained the original text and story from Gorey’s book but they have new original art and different names. In a classic crypto culture twist the new names will sound familiar…
Edward Gorey’s camp-macabre, ironic-gothic outlook—his “mission in life,” he said, was “to make everybody as uneasy as possible because that’s what the world is like”
—seems right for our times.
