The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories - Tim Burton

I'm a devotee of Tim Burton's movies, largely for their idiosyncratic visual flair, so I enjoyed the illustrations in this insubstantial collection. I am sorry to report, however, that most of the poetry is pretty awful. Check out this, from the story of Voodoo Girl:

She has many different zombies
who are deeply in her trance.
She even has a zombie
who was originally from France.

Ouch.
