The definitive biography of Edward Gorey, the eccentric master of macabre nonsense. From The Gashlycrumb Tinies to The Doubtful Guest, Edward Gorey's wickedly funny and deliciously sinister little books have influenced our culture in innumerable ways, from the works of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman to Lemony Snicket. Some even call him the Grandfather of Goth. But who was this man, who lived with over twenty thousand books and six cats, who roomed with Frank O'Hara at Harvard, and was known -- in the late 1940s, no less -- to traipse around in full-length fur coats, clanking bracelets, and an Edwardian beard? An eccentric, a gregarious recluse, an enigmatic auteur of whimsically morbid masterpieces, yes -- but who was the real Edward Gorey behind the Oscar Wildean pose? He published over a hundred books and illustrated works by Samuel Beckett, T.S. Eliot, Edward Lear, John Updike, Charles Dickens, Hilaire Belloc, Muriel Spark, Bram Stoker, Gilbert & Sullivan, and others. At the same time, he was a deeply complicated and conflicted individual, a man whose art reflected his obsessions with the disquieting and the darkly hilarious. Based on newly uncovered correspondence and interviews with personalities as diverse as John Ashbery, Donald Hall, Lemony Snicket, Neil Gaiman, and Anna Sui, Born to Be Posthumous draws back the curtain on the eccentric genius and mysterious life of Edward Gorey.Binding Type: Hardcover

Life and Skin Changer/Saver!!
This has absolutely changed my skin and life for the better! I tend to have dry and sensitive skin. Traditional lotions and creams last only a few minutes or hours with minimal relief. My hands were getting very dry and wrinkly, but the Beef Tallow has brought my hands back to normal. I even started using it on my face and LOVE IT! The ingredients seem to be minimal using beef tallow, honey, olive oil, etc. It’s not just a surface level moisturizer - it seeps deep into the skin. My family has tried it and can’t wait to buy their own!!

This tallow and honey balm is a really good product!
I really like this Tallow and honey balm. Actually, I use it as a face cream and it is really smooth. What I like the most is that it’s not really greasy feeling when you put it on but once it’s absorbed into the skin your skin feels smooth.
You don’t need much either. It comes with a little scoop so that you aren’t sticking your fingers in it. I’m glad I tried it because it is a good value. Another thing, it smells really good and I think it’s because of the ingredients of tallow and honey.

Hoping to reduce redness
Having this product for only a few days I will say I think my skin feels less dry. I am hoping that over time it will help reduce the redness of my face due to rosacea. So far I like it.

must-try. Five stars from me!
Size: 4.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I recently tried the **ELBBUB Whipped Tallow Cream**, and I can confidently say it's one of the best skincare products I've ever used! From the moment I opened the jar, I was struck by the light, fluffy texture that feels luxurious and indulgent.
This cream absorbs beautifully into the skin, leaving it feeling incredibly soft and hydrated without any greasy residue. It’s perfect for daily use and works wonders on dry areas, especially during colder months. My skin feels plump and nourished, and I've noticed a significant improvement in its overall texture and appearance.
The ingredients are clean and wholesome, giving me peace of mind about what I'm putting on my skin. I also appreciate the subtle, natural scent that isn’t overpowering, making it suitable for anyone sensitive to strong fragrances.
What truly sets this cream apart is its versatility. I’ve used it on my face, hands, and even as a body moisturizer, and it performs flawlessly across the board. It's become an essential part of my skincare routine, and I can’t recommend it enough!
If you’re looking for a rich, effective moisturizer that truly delivers, the ELBBUB Whipped Tallow Cream is a must-try. Five stars from me!
