I've always loved Gorey's art style, ever since I was introduced to it as a little girl, watching Mystery on PBS with my mom.
That was also my introduction to his artwork. I imagine it's the same for many others as well.
As a small child, when Mystery came on I knew it was time for bed...but my dad would always let me stick around to watch the little intro cartoon before the "boring" part started.
a bit strange that an article about Gorey does not show any of his eerie illustrations...
