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 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.
