Ilustration In Pursuance Of 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).

Criticism Of Books The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories

Alone and rejected, Mummy Boy wept,then went to the cabinetwhere the snack food was kept. Tim Burton, The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other StoriesI needed to read today. I didn't want to simply read, I NEEDED to read . I felt a need to clear the voices of Mrs. Dalloway from my mind. The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories, was the perfect book to do so. This is a collection of grim short poems/stories depicting the lives and misfortunes of a group of sympathetic outcasts

Damn!!! This is so dark but funny so Tim BurtonIts a collection of very short stories about very strange beings. There are no happy endings at all. You see all of those likeable people ( or matchsticks or whatever ) and you think, aww its sad what happened with them, i bet things will be good in the end.........NO.Im not proud but i laughed with the most of the stories, is it something wrong with me? should i be worried?Read this book, i don't know why or how but it will cheer you up

nothing but macabre, delightfully weird and absolutely nonsensical: this is why i'm a tim burton stan. i couldn't have picked a better time to reread this. halloween month without burton content???? not in this household. "The Boy with Nails in His Eyesput up his aluminum tree.It looked pretty strangebecause he couldn't really see." THIS IS THE //QUALITY CONTENT// I SIGNED UP FOR.i would marry tim burton's humor if i could. most of his art just doesn't make sense at all, and that's why i fuck

I picked this up on a whim and am glad I did! This short collection of stories told in verse is (as you'd expect from Tim Burton) funny, twisted, horrifying, macabre and somehow also rather poignant. The illustrations are marvellous too. Personal fave, The Pincushion Queen:Life isn't easyfor the Pin Cushion Queen.When she sits on her thronepins push through her spleen.

This is a collection of short poems accompanied of drawings in which cruelty and tenderness is mixed with some strange and lonely children. Its a terribly creepy and madly depressing book, but made me laugh too. Voodoo girl Her skin is white cloth,and shes all sewn apartand she has many colored pinssticking out of her heart.She has many different zombieswho are deeply in her trance.She even has a zombiewho was originally from France.But she knows she has a curse on her,a curse she cannot win.

Strange but nice poems!

This was FANTASTIC. OH MAN. SO GOOD. I don't have much to say. It's a collection of short poems and accompanying doodles by Tim Burton. It's damned creepy, freaking depressing, laugh out loud funny, and utterly awesome.
