The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories by Tim Burton

4.0

If I wasn't on the train when I read "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy", I would probably wail and cry and everything's possible. This story, and the other stories, was told in a witty, somewhat darkly humorous way, but there's an underlying darkness and gruesome feeling underneath it. Very good if you're inside the niche market of this book (and I am) but if you're not it would probably only seem strange and silly.
