My First Dictionary





Ross Horsely, the author of My First Dictionary, describes himself as a "timid librarian by day ... frenzied fan of gory slasher movies by night." His work reminds me of Edward Gorey's classic abecedarian poem, The Gashlycrumb Tinies, in which Gorey details the deaths of 26 children. My First Dictionary is my new guilty pleasure.
