At the intersection of JRRT's "The Lord of the Rings" and Edward Gorey's "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" is cartoonist Tom Racine's "Doomed to Die: An A-Z of Death in Tolkien".
It starts with, "A is for Arwen broken by sorrows", and continues through the alphabet showing the demise of Legendarium characters, with illustrations and rhyming captions in Gorey's style.
⬇️

Bookwomble There are appendices à la Tolkien describing the book's creation, and character information for all the illustrations.
A treat for any Tolkien or Gorey fan, and as both, I loved it! 🖤🧙🏻‍♂️🧝🏻💀🖤
