Shelf Life: June 22

The Wonders of EHAG
The June 2009 theme for the Eclectic Halloween Artist Group (EHAG) is tributes to Edward Gorey. There’s a plethora of Gorey-inspired wickedness and other great Halloween artistry to lose yourself for an hour or so...so get crackin’! Jennifer MacNeill-Traylor has a nice Washington Irving-inspired piece and Laurie Hardin has created a majestic orb.

The Graveyard Book
Blogger bedsight mentions Bellairs’ name in his review of Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book.

Portraying the real Myra Eells
The Fort Walla Walla Museum has hosted a few Living History performances recently including one of pioneer missionaries Cushing and Myra Eells. No, it's not the Myra Eells you think we're talking about, and, yes, there really was a real-life Myra Eells.

A Visit to Edward Gorey’s House
Twisted Susan tells the tale.
