The Book

The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories, by Tim Burton, is a book of poems that tell the stories of children with various defects. The tales of half-robot hybrids, spontaneous transformers, and women who have babies to win men range in tone from depressing to humorous, and sometimes both at the same time.
