The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy by Tim Burton
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).
Holly C. Kempf is a graphic designer and book editor who has been working with director Tim Burton since 2007. She designed and edited the comprehensive and award-winning The Art of Tim Burton, as well as Frankenweenie: The Visual Companion, The Nightmare Before Christmas: 20th Anniversary Edition, and others.
