A picture book that takes us through different rooms in this haunted, abandoned manor. Unique and creepy.

Creepy in a masterfully reserved kind of way. Completely wordless, Gorey presents thirty illustrations of the titular wing and leaves the reader to render their meaning. The most unsettling for me is the one where, looking into a mirror, you see the legs and feet of a figure not quite out the door behind you. The thought that I would have caught it if I'd just turned the page sooner gave me such a chill. Really loving this Gorey kick I've wandered onto, and I must find more.

This is my second wordless story today. The art here is meticulous and amazing. I love how he does patterns on wallpaper and carpet. The details he puts into these drawings is beautiful. I can't tell if there is a story here or a set of pictures that link up. The story is all up to the reader. The settings he provides can tell some disquieting tales.
I thought this was a fun little book. It is part of the Vinegar Works. Pull up your imagination and let it run wild within the pages of this book.
