Edward Gorey: The Helpless Doorknob 2027 Mini Wall Calendar

In January, “Agatha taught Adolphus to dance the one-step.” And in April, “Andrew came across a horrid secret​ in Adela’s diary.” Wait, what’s going on here? Every month​ of 2027 showcases an extract from Edward Gorey’s ​The​ Helpless Doorknob​, an interactive shuffle story. Each crosshatched image includes a declarative sentence, usually​ featuring a character whose name begins with A, each of​ whom does something notable or not (wrote a note, vanished from a picnic). Let​ Gorey’s eccentric setups launch a​ year of new stories—nonsense encouraged. Oh and by the​ way, Adolphus is a huge black dog.
