Amazingly fun pop-up-like tunnel book with lot's of hidden figures and monsters! Rare in mint conditon due to the delicate accordian-like end paper connections.

There is a beginning, and an end, between which lay eight frames, eight chapters. No text, no narrative, yet each chapter or frame conveys a story, adjoining figures linked by a visual, prose-free continuity. There is suspense, wonder, intrigue and deception. It's a mystery. Try to discern Gorey's plotline or construct your own. What was on the plaque before it was surreptitiously switched? show more Does the dancing statuary forestall doom or deception? Why does ULUUS have such a Big Nose?
The Tunnel Calamity is an adventuresome mirage, begging to be bent, twisted, squished and stretched, all to catch illusive detail. show less
