Abstract
Edward Gorey authored more than 100 books and illustrated more than 60 books for other authors such as Edward Lear and Samuel Beckett. Moreover, Gorey was interested in building a career in theatre. Therefore, he designed sets and costumes for Dracula, which was a Broadway hit in 1977. In spite of his tremendous volume of achievements, it is hard to find his research materials.
