    Merritt's lyrical dark wit chimes nicely with the books' macabre surrealism.

    It's both Gothic and arch, meaningless and amusing. [Nov 2006, p.110]

    The Tragic Treasury is rarely charming: instead of being faux funereal, dirges like "Dreary, Dreary" and "Things Are Not What They Appear" are just funereal.
