The Black Doll

Argumento

The Black Doll, a little-known and never-produced screenplay by the celebrated artist and writer Edward Gorey (19252000), dishes up a rambunctious romp of a plot, featuring vile villains, wicked women, sinister socialites, and a horrified heroine. Its the stuff of many a silent melodrama but imbued with classic Gorey convolutions. Written in 1973 and originally published in Scenario magazine in 1998, The Black Doll has been missing from Gorey libraries until now.
