In the spirit of Edward Gorey’s Gashlycrumb Tinies, author Paul Cuneo and illustrator Juno Abreu present the alphabet as taught by a new, gothic heroine for the age. She’s dead, but that won’t stop her from trying to make friends by sharing a few of her favorite things—like her axe, your burial, a fall from a window, and a good lament. And her dog Shivers, who seems to have picked up an odor under the floorboards. No matter—sit back, relax, ignore the screams from the marsh, and allow Little Morwenna to unburden you of that annoying obligation you’ve been feeling to look on the bright side.
