Agree. I also think the media has trouble (or pretends to have trouble) dealing with the "discovery" of his work for adults--I feel rehashed shock stories over someone finding Uncle Oswald or some of his short stories (The Landlady, the thing with the rack of lamb. . .) and then looks back at the children's stories with that in mind, come up pretty often.

I also think the media isn't great at discussing dark humor, specifically, (as opposed to more straightforward scares) in children's books--partly because how kids react to it can be hugely different based on temperment. When I worked in a children's bookstore, a mother came in and yelled at me because her kid had been so upset by A Series of Unfortunate Events (which I hadn't recommended or sold to them, incidentally.)
