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.
