Product details
- Tim Burton's classic collection of illustrated short stories has been re-released with this beautiful 20th anniversary edition cover.
- The volume contains twenty three gothic stories with accompanying illustrations from the dark corridors of Burton's imagination.
- The creative genius behind Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow and Nightmare Before Christmas, among others gives birth to a cast of gruesomely sympathetic children: misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find love and belonging in cruel worlds.
- His lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and tragedy of these hopeful, yet hapless beings.
- "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy 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
