pickA haunting novelization of an equally haunting film. It read really well, really visually, with great narrative tension and beautifully drawn characters. The pages breathe with magic and mystery, and the overshadowing dark of humanity‘s evil is palpable. A really good read, if a sad one, and great for this time of year. Peeved that the film isn‘t streaming anywhere in Canada atm.
pickI loved this movie—the visuals have stayed with me through the years. The book is very similar but feels even darker. All fairytales are cautionary in some way. This one is no different…we would do well to remember the lesson from this story in our current times.
pickThis is like a mini trove of delights of his movies, excerpts from interviews and articles to highlight del Toro's work. Author's is a huge fan, and for an unofficial & unauthorized book, the author does a great job of collecting a lot of data that is probably common or known and mixes it with beautiful images from the various del Toro films and even some of the different inspirations that del Toro has mentioned.
I'm trying to wait until October 1 to start watching, but my wife might not let me wait that long 😅 #scarathlon #teamwhoyagonnacall @FlynnDewey
