The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories
by Tim Burton
Tim Burton is a genius! I freaking loved this book!
It's an easy 115 pages long, and the stories are more like little poems or tiny short stories accompanied with awesome, grungy 'Tim Burton-y' style illustrations. More reasons to love the book! The stories themselves are pure Burton; creepy, dark, weird, awesome! If you're a fan of his fantastic work, then this is the book you NEED!
But when I found this book on Waterstones website, and once I had discovered that it's a very short book, I wasn't overly keen on paying the full price for it. (£9.99) so I scooted over to Amazon and managed to pick it up for £2.81. Bargain! But after reading it, I'd have been more than happy to pay £9.99 as I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll probably (most definitely) read it again tonight in bed (is it bedtime yet? No? Damn it.)
It's also the one book this year that has actually made me laugh out loud. I LOLed.
Derp!
Normally I laugh in my head or give out a nose laughter whenever I read something humorous in a book. But this one has pure dry, dark humour, which is right up my street. And I lllllloved it!
Like I said above, he's a genius, and now I'm going to search Amazon for any other books he may have written, and I'll happily pay full prices for them.
