Have you ever read A Room with a View by E.M. Forster? Circa 1908. There's a current running through that.

I have. And yes, that's a deliciously live current.

I have not, I'll add it to my list. When I think of the name Gorey, all I can think of is visual art.

It is that very thing you envision, along with exceedingly clever and wicked prose.
