About this listen
He never stopped drawing. Not even when the world told him to grow up. Tim Burton didn’t try to fit in — he turned his alienation into art. From the suburban shadows of Burbank to the soundstages of Hollywood, he built an empire of monsters, misfits, and melancholy hearts.
Burton: The Boy Who Drew Monsters is a darkly beautiful biography that traces the life and legacy of one of the most iconic filmmakers of our time. JJ pulls back the striped curtain to reveal the real man behind the myth: the quiet kid with a sketchbook, the animator in the corner, the director who found poetry in pain — and who made it okay to be strange. Covering everything from Beetlejuice to Big Fish, from stop-motion to superstardom, this book is for anyone who’s ever felt like they were living in the wrong movie.
