A Gothic Masterpiece

An exquisite and beautiful book full of absolutely gorgeous and simple line drawings alongside some stunning short stories.

In the same vein as the legendary Roald Dahl but with an added sense of the macabre, this collection of short stories is quite simply sublime. Starring many different characters such as Oyster Boy, Pin Cushion Girl, Stain Boy and many more, it’s like the author Neil Gaiman only with a slightly weirder tint.

The simple drawings really add to the tales themselves too, just like the drawings of Quentin Blake did to Roald Dahls stories.

An essential purchase for fans of Tim Burton and of the style of short stories by authors such as Neil Gaiman.
