The original Edward Gorey cover is also rather excellent.

Apparently there was a critical rediscovery of O'Grady following a Believer article about this book, which led to a reprint edition a few years back. Definitely interested in tracking down the Gorey edition someday.

They never used the term 'cougar' back then the way we do now, right? This is a literal cougar being put-upon?

Correct Derek! Alas.

I had the same cougar thought. That write up (so delightful!) just doesn't tie with the cover art or title, does it? Fantastic stuff.

Great Gorey cover!
