Description
Twenty-three illustrated gothic tales from the dark corridors of the imagination of Tim Burton. Burton—the creative genius behind Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, and Nightmare Before Christmas, among others—now gives birth to a cast of gruesomely sympathetic children: misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find love and belonging in their cruel, cruel worlds.
His lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and tragedy of these hopeful, yet hapless beings.

He began his career at Disney, where his first project was a six-minute tribute to Vincent Price. His second film, the twenty-seven-minute Frankenweenie, was deemed unsuitable for children and never released in cinemas.
