Before Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, Ransom Riggs’s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, there was Edward Gorey. Born in 1925, Gorey first achieved success as a commercial designer, providing covers and art for over 500 books in his lifetime. Beginning in 1953, he began writing and illustrating his own works, including one of his best-known titles, 1963’s The Gashlycrumb Tinies, an illustrated alphabet book in which 26 children meet their untimely deaths. Both whimsical and macabre, Gorey’s books featured his pen-and-ink drawings in Victorian and Edwardian settings with morbid outcomes, earning him the title of the “Granddaddy of Goth.”

Given Gorey’s penchant for blending elegance with the unsettling, it’s only fitting that his 100th birthday is celebrated with Uneasy Elixirs: 50 Curious Cocktails Inspired by the Works of Edward Gorey, created in conjunction with the Gorey estate.

Herein are 50 cards that cover yummy appetizers, sweet snacks, and refreshing drinks, all for your consumption before, during, or after a D&D game! Of course, you may find that some of these make the regular meal rotation, as a few are simply amazing!

Now, the Picard wine is available for purchase online!

One is a new blended Scotch from Johnnie Walker fittingly called White Walker and inspired of course by the Night King and his ever-growing army of icy undead who have been the great looming threat slowly approaching since the beginning of the series. The rest are a collection of single malt Scotch whiskies inspired by the various houses of Westeros and the Night’s Watch.
