Happy Birthday, Edward

I definitely recommend you read his three Amphigorey collections.
The "life is sweet" sweatshirt gets a lot of grins and compliments.
Here's a fan animation of the Ghastlycrumb Tinies.
And by all means, take this quiz: Which Horrible (Edward) Gorey Death will you die?

Arguably, Gorey's most widely known work is the animation for the opening of "Mystery" on PBS.
