«The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories» is Tim Burton's illustrated book of gothic tales (Faber & Faber, paperback, 128 pages, English).
Twenty-three illustrated gothic tales that traverse Tim Burton's imagination: marginalized children and creatures, grotesquely endearing, seek love and a place in cruel worlds. The illustrations, also by Burton, combine sweetness and tragedy, turning each story into a macabre fable about difference and loneliness.
The first edition of these tales was published in 1997; the edition for this ISBN appeared in November 2004.
For Tim Burton fans and readers of gothic tales who appreciate the tone between childlike and macabre.
