The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy

by Tim Burton

Twenty-three illustrated gothic tales from the dark imagination of film director Tim Burton.

The gruesomely sympathetic children in this collection are misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find love and belonging in their cruel worlds.

Burton's lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and tragedy of these hopeful, yet hapless beings.
