All in one fun and sad. I enjoyed the drawings.

Musta huumori, vinksallaan oleminen ja väärin ymmärrettyjen, hiljaisten ja hylättyjen maailma. Liikuttava ja hauska.

Een verzameling van kortverhaaltjes van de hand van Tim Burton. Zeer aangenaam om te lezen en de illustraties komen goed tot hun recht.

The stories are macabre and mesmerising, though not to the extent where I can read the collection over and over again. It's scary when reading through the collection, some stories remind me so much of what I've written and drawn in the past. Still I would have to say in the rising genre of picture books for adults, this is still not as good as The Plucker by Brom or The Arrival by Shaun Tan.
