Fantod Pack      2007 Edward Gorey      USA                                                   Art Medium: Pen drawings. Description: First published in the December 1966 issue of Esquire Magazine as illustrations to "The Awful Vista of the Year: the Fantod Pack" (along with another short story "Chthonian Christmas"). The story by Gorey is published under the pseudonym of Madame Groeda Weyrd (an anagram of his name). This is more a cynical comment on the tarot, and the images and their titles have no association to traditional tarot images. A limited and signed edition was published by Gotham Book Mart in 1995. Gorey who was born in 1925 and died in 2000 wrote over 100 books, many of which were illustrated with his drawings.
