Description Supposing Books The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories
From breathtaking stop-action animation to bittersweet modern fairy tales, filmmaker Tim Burton has become known for his unique visual brilliance – witty and macabre at once. Now 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 lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and the tragedy of these dark yet simple beings – hopeful, hapless heroes who appeal to the ugly outsider in all of us, and let us laugh at a world we have long left behind (mostly anyway).Specify Of Books The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories

Strange but nice poems!
4.5/5 starsThis is an amazing, macabre and melancholy book that I just loved so much. If you're a fan of Tim Burton or dark/melancholy humour, this set of short poems and accompanying illustrations would be perfect for you. I enjoyed all of these poems and the illustrations, no matter how weird they were. It was dark but charming, funny but sad and just super quirky. I really don't know what else to say, this was a super quick read (an hour or less) but was full of weird fun. My name is Jimmy,

This collection of dark comedy poetry was at times very funny and creative, but at other times too strange for its own good. It's a good balance I guess, my favourite one being the 'Toxic Boy' poem.
Tim Burton, The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories (Morrow, 1997)Someone needs to explain this to me and fast, `cause I don't get it: how is it that bad poetry (and yes, folks, this is truly bad) and art that looks like a second-rate Edward Gorey ripoff (Burton is not the illustrator that he is the sculptor and animator) can be so insanely funny? I am completely at a loss for why I liked this anywhere near as much as I did.Let's face it, if you squint right while watching The
This book is full of mad ideas and sometimes disturbing themes, but overall these poems are easy to read, enjoyable and enhanced by the wonderful illustrations provided by Tim Burton. It is something that I could easily read just a few poems out of if I didn't have much time, or something that I will definitely be re-reading in its entirity at some point in the future. Robot Boy is my favourite of the collection due to the humour and interesting accompanying images.
