The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy: and Other Stories
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
Stain Boy, Roy the Toxic Boy, Robot Boy, Match Girl, Staring Girl, and other characters from the book later appeared in a series of short Flash cartoons directed by Tim Burton, titled "Stainboy."
