STRANGLED ON MIDSUMMER'S EVE

The crime of Lady Violet at Gilravage Hall in Neglected Murderesses.

Black Darjeeling brewed to the edge of acridity, its dark tannins laced with the faint metallic sigh of tarnished silver. Bruised and rain-damp wisteria petals clinging to a loosened knot of fraying violet ribbon. The lingering ghost of charred wood from a dormant hearth drifting beneath a sweep of velvet the color of fading bruises, tangled with the ragged threads of silk-stitched roses.

We at BPAL are honored to participate in the hooplah surrounding the 100th birthday of Edward Gorey (1925-2000), the artist, writer, and designer whose distinctively playful and morbid style has inspired generations of moody, creative weirdos (like us!) and remains instantly recognizable today. This bon anniversaire marks the beginning of our partnership with The Edward Gorey House on a series of fragrant adaptations of Gorey’s masterpieces, featuring artworks courtesy of The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust.
