Description:

The late, great author and illustrator Edward Gorey was the creator of eerie and magical stories. Stories that revolved around goth and monster elements. And his tales inspired San Francisco’s annual Edwardian Ball. 

What started off as a small party more than 25 years ago, has turned into a subculture festival drawing thousands of people from the Bay Area and Beyond. 

In this interview from 2022, KALW’s Jenee Darden spoke with Edwardian Ball producers Justin Katz and Mike Gaines on the event’s roots and its evolution.
