By MEL GUSSOW

After Edward Gorey died in April, Andreas Brown, one of the executors of his estate, visited Gorey's 200-year-old 15-room house in Yarmouth Port, Mass. Mr. Brown began searching through closets, crannies in Gorey's words, "beneath the floor, behind the door" and possibly up the chimney.  Amid the cosmic disarray, he discovered hundreds of stories and sketches, some finished, some unfinished, left behind by this grand master of the macabre.

This is, Mr. Brown said, a trove of Goreyiana, with ample material for many future books and for plays based on his work.

On one trip to the Gorey house, he was accompanied by Kevin McDermott, a producer and actor who has been involved in several theatrical anthologies of Gorey's work, including one called Amphoragorey, a musical presented in 1999 in Provincetown, Mass.
