The Water Flowers
by Gorey, Edward
"A curious culinary adventure incorporating a caveat against Lesser Literature and an instance of startling sensibility"
This Gorey story maintains the expected atmosphere of quiet distress and morbid humor as an Edwardian woman, lost in her book, realizes the house is empty of food.
