* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: Gorey's artwork, of cross-hatchings rendering sinister figures and events, is wonderfully skilled and atmospheric. Bonus to him having had little professional training.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Gorey's work is considerably more popular in Japan than in his own home country, to the point where [[https://www.goreyography.com/east/east.html/ one website dedicated to his work has an entire page on it]]. This is understandable given that Gorey was heavily influenced by Japanese Literature, plus a lot of his cross-hatching, and his artstyle is reminiscent of that found in many Japanese mangas. He also has large followings in Germany and Spain.

"Idiot Plot" is now Flame Bait.


* IdiotPlot: All of the events in ''The Deranged Cousins'' more or less happen due to the stupidity of the main characters. [[spoiler:One of the characters drinks from a bottle of vanilla extract he finds laying in the mud, killing him. Two of the characters also fight over a bedslat, resulting in one of them dying when the other strikes them with a doorknob.]]

* MisaimedFandom: Some Edward Gorey fans misinterpret the deaths of children in some of his books to mean that he outright dislikes them. In actuality, Gorey had no such feelings towards children, or any feelings for that matter. Much like he does towards almost everyone else, he holds no particular fondness towards them, positive or negative. Though he has been known to get along pretty well with the kids of his friends, and said kids tend to enjoy his company.
