Book Synopsis
This innovative study centres on the body as a centripetal force in Burton's work and considers the array of anomalous, extraordinary and transgressive beings that pervade his canon.

Trade Review
"This exemplary cross-disciplinary collection addressing Burton's films through the lens of the somatic, demonstrates considerable empathy for, and sympathy with, his miscellany of outsiders, grotesques, and monsters. Whether animated, animal, or aberrant, Burton's corporeal and material menagerie is explored with insight and originality. This fresh focus on Burton's preoccupation with the 'weird is normal' serves to show how unruly otherness and alternative perspectives shed a penetrating light upon our assumptions about the human condition. " -Professor Paul Wells, Loughborough University
