*The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories exquisitely conveys the pain of an adolescent outsider.
Like Tim Burton's movies, the work manages to be both childlike and sophisticated, blending the innocent with the macabre. New York Times
From breathtaking stop-motion animation to bittersweet modern fairytales, film-maker Tim Burton has become known for his unique visual brilliance - witty and macabre at once. In this book he gives birth to a cast of gruesomely sympathetic children - misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find love and belonging in their cruel, cruel worlds. His illustrations evoke both the sweetness and the tragedy of these hopeful yet hapless beings.
