Something at the Window Is Scratching: Children's Tales for Disturbed Children

1998Roman Dirge

4.8/5

Odd, creepy illustrations for poems for children. Dirge, who also wrote Lenore: The Cute Little Dead Girl (which I still haven’t yet read) says “This is a collection of children's tales for disturbed children.” Ha! Nice.This guy is working in the same macabre territory and seems to be inspired by Edward Gorey, but this work seems definitely younger. It actually feels more like Tim Burton territory. The drawings are cute and strange, and the poems are pretty good, often worth a few smiles. I liked it!Here’s an example of his art, which has also made its way into animation in various places:https://www.google.com/search?q=roman...
