Book 7

"The Melancholy Death Of Osyter Boy: and other stories" by Tim Burton

And it's a short book. And more than a little messed up, but it is quirky and snappy and cute in a sad, too-much-foundation-and-whiny-poetry kind of way. One of my favourites goes something along the lines of;

"Santa offered James a teddy bear, unaware that he had been mauled by a Grizzly earlier that year."

And the picture is special, too.

Three and a half deformed, melancholy children.
