The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories
by Tim Burton.
A very short book of heartbreaking and humourous tales, some only a few lines long.
Valentines present (I got her a crap-load of buttons - she FUCKING LOVES buttons! Too much, I think). Excellent choice.
The illustrations are scrawly, but convey the emotion so well.
My favourite's Robot Boy: "he never forgave her unholy alliance: a sexual encounter with a kitchen appliance."
Someone on here must've read it.
