When Edward Gorey plays the <em>Game of Thrones</em>, everyone wins

DeviantART users Curtana and Kaleadora have both collaborated on an adorably violent mashup of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series (which inspired HBO’s Game of Thrones) and Edward Gorey, depicting some of the author’s most gruesome events in the style of the darkly funny illustrator. Borrowing from the abecedarian format of Gorey’s The Gashlycrumb Tinies, the artists have depicted exactly 26 of the most well-known and, ahem, gory scenes from the series of books. (Let that be a spoiler warning for events that have not yet taken place on Game of Thrones.) See the full set, entitled “A Very Gorey ASOIAFabet,” on DeviantART. (via A.V. Club)
