You know we love to get behind a cool aesthetic and some dark and mysterious verse. Check out Goreyesque, a journal dedicated entirely to words and images that invoke beloved illustrator, Edward Gorey. Their second issue is out now, compiled of work from writers and illustrators across a wide spectrum. There are a few things you can rely on with this new journal: the loveable creepy-crawlies, and some damn fine writing. Check ’em out!
