Born to Be Posthumous

Adam Sims delivers a captivating narration that perfectly complements Mark Dery’s vivid portrayal of Edward Gorey. His delivery captures the wit and whimsy of Gorey's work, making each chapter feel like a personal insight into his creative process. The pacing is spot-on, allowing the narrative to flow seamlessly from one fascinating anecdote to the next. A standout element is Sims' ability to convey the melancholic undertones that run through Gorey’s life and works, which adds an emotional depth not always present in biographies of this nature. While some may find the content slightly dense for casual listeners, those who appreciate literary history and dark humor will find 'Born to Be Posthumous' a worthwhile journey into a posthumously celebrated mind.
