    A ROAD TRIP for the ages

     "The Willowdale Handcar" follows three friends as they hop on a handcar from Willowdale and go on what seems like a year long road trip. They encounter so many odd things, sceneries and moments on their travels. Not everything revolves around the handcar as the friends visit other various locations. The artwork is traditional Gorey and the story is just as surreal. By the end of it all, you'll have a better connection with the characters and would have seen them age throughout the pages. Their outfits change, their hair and beards change and one could only assume that they've been on the road for many years. You might also enjoy a fairytale about a little girl and a haunted house in the tradition of Gorey: 
  
The Stumps of Flattop Hill

    Gorey at his best

What's not to love? Hardcover chapbook with glorious illustrations, a wonderfully morbid sense of humor, and (as always) the sense of ennui that pervades everything he does. Brilliant. :)

    For the money, I expected the book to be in much better condition
  

*by M***W on Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2020*

The binding was a bit damaged as if it was the bottom of a large stack.It had scuff marks too.I was too busy to deal with it so kept it as is. Unless they hire the blind to pack their orders off, there’s no excuse to have not seen it.It’s still a good book to read if you are a fan.
