The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy:

Synopsis

Twenty-three illustrated gothic tales from the dark corridors of the imagination of tim burton. Burton - the creative genius behind batman, edward scissorhands, sleepy hollow and nightmare before christmas, among others - now gives birth to a cast of gruesomely sympathetic children: misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find love and belonging in their cruel, cruel worlds. His lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and tragedy of these hopeful, yet hapless beings.
