Una foresta incantata, un misterioso labirinto, tre prove di coraggio: è più spaventoso la realtà o la magia?\r\n«La sensibilità con cui Cornelia Funke rielabora la fantasia oscura di Guillermo del Toro è un vero incanto» – The Guardian\r\n\r\n«Non dovresti entrare qui. Potresti perderti. È già successo in passato. Un giorno ti racconterò la storia, se vuoi sentirla.»\r\n\r\nSpagna, 1944. Ofelia è soltanto una bambina quando con la madre prossima al parto si trasferisce in un vecchio mulino tra le montagne dove il patrigno, lo spietato capitán Vidal, è di stanza per annientare i ribelli che si oppongono al regime franchista. Presto le sue amate fiabe e l'antica foresta incantata attorno alla casa divengono l'unico conforto, una via di fuga dal terrore e dal dolore che avvelenano la sua vita. Finché un giorno, guidata da una Fata, si addentra in un labirinto nelle cui profondità un misterioso Fauno la attende da tempo per sottoporla a tre prove di coraggio. Solo superandole, potrà fare ritorno nel Regno Sotterraneo, lei, la principessa perduta, fuggita perché sognava il mondo degli umani, e condannata a vagare sulla terra senza memoria. Sembra il finale di una fiaba. Ma quando la magia si rivelerà non meno oscura e terrificante della realtà, Ofelia dovrà scegliere cosa è disposta a sacrificare per salvare se stessa.

A horrific crime that defies explanation, a rookie FBI agent in uncharted territory, and an extraordinary hero for the ages: an investigation spirals out of control in this heart-pounding thriller.\nOdessa Hardwicke's life is derailed when she's forced to turn her gun on her partner, Walt Leppo, a decorated FBI agent who turns suddenly, inexplicably violent while apprehending a rampaging murderer. The shooting, justified by self-defense, shakes the young FBI agent to her core. Devastated, Odessa is placed on desk leave pending a full investigation. But what most troubles Odessa isn't the tragedy itself -- it's the shadowy presence she thought she saw fleeing the deceased agent's body after his death.\nQuestioning her future with the FBI and her sanity, Hardwicke accepts a low-level assignment to clear out the belongings of a retired agent in the New York office. What she finds there will put her on the trail of a mysterious figure named Hugo Blackwood, a man of enormous means who claims to have been alive for centuries, and who is either an unhinged lunatic, or humanity's best and only defense against unspeakable evil.\nFrom the authors who brought you The Strain Trilogy comes a strange, terrifying, and darkly wondrous world of suspense, mystery, and literary horror. The Hollow Ones is a chilling, spell-binding tale, a hauntingly original new fable from Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro and bestselling author Chuck Hogan featuring their most fascinating character yet.

Un Boeing 777 atterra all'aeroporto di New York e rimane immobile sulla pista. Si sospetta un attentato terroristico, ma quando le forze speciali salgono a bordo si trovano invece di fronte a una scena agghiacciante: sembra che tutti gli occupanti dell'aereo siano morti senza una ragione comprensibile. I cadaveri sono esaminati da Eph Good­weather e Nora Martinez, due dei migliori immunologi degli Stati Uniti: qualunque ne sia stata la causa, la morte deve averli colti di sorpresa. La notizia dell'accaduto arriva ad Abraham Setrakian, un anziano ex professore sopravvissuto all'Olocausto che adesso gestisce un banco dei pegni ad Harlem. Immediatamente l'uomo capisce. \"Lui è qui\". È arrivato il momento di fronteggiare il male così a lungo atteso, è la resa dei conti per cui si è preparato durante tutta la vita. Sa che deve correre all'aeroporto e far sì che i corpi dei passeggeri siano distrutti, prima che sia troppo tardi, prima che il contagio si diffonda. Prima che gli umani diventino il cibo di una nuova stirpe di vampiri. La salvezza di New York e forse dell'umanità intera riposa sulle spalle di Eph, Nora e Setrakian. Ritorna \"La progenie\", il primo volume della trilogia \"The Strain\", da cui è tratta l'omonima serie televisiva.

New Jersey, 2020. La vita dell'agente dell'FBI Odessa Hardwicke subisce una svolta inaspettata quando si trova costretta a puntare la pistola contro il suo collega, Walt Leppo, diventato inspiegabilmente violento durante l'arresto di un killer spietato. A subire la sua aggressione è una bambina di nove anni, unica sopravvissuta sulla scena del crimine. Odessa agisce d'impulso per salvarla ma la sparatoria, motivata come legittima difesa, la scuote nel profondo. Ciò che più la preoccupa, tuttavia, è la presenza oscura che è certa di aver visto sollevarsi come una nebbiolina dal corpo del collega in fin di vita… Seguendo le piste di un nuovo caso apparentemente irrisolvibile, Odessa si mette sulle tracce di John Blackwood, un individuo misterioso che sostiene di essere vivo da secoli. Potrebbe essere un mitomane o un pazzo sfrenato. Ma forse questo caso non si può risolvere con una normale indagine. Forse Blackwood è l'unica difesa contro un male indicibile.

Guillermo del Toro is a complete and intimate study of the life and work of one of modern cinema's most truly unique directors, whose distinct aesthetic and imagination are unmatched in contemporary film.\n\n Widely regarded as one of the most imaginative directors working in cinema today, Guillermo del Toro has built up a body of work that has enthralled movie fans with its dark beauty and edge-of-the-seat set pieces.\n\n In this book, acclaimed author Ian Nathan charts the progression of a career that has produced some of contemporary cinema's most revered scenes and idiosyncratic characters. This detailed examination looks at how the strands of del Toro's career have woven together to create one of modern cinema's most ground-breaking bodies of work.\n\n Delving deep into del Toro's psyche, the book starts by examining his beginnings in Mexico, the creative but isolated child surrounded by ornate catholicism and monster magazines, filming stop motion battles between his toys on a Super-8 film camera. \n\n It follows him to film school, where we learn of his influences, from Kafka to Bunuel, and explores his 1993 debut Cronos, the independent horror debut which draws on the religious and occult themes which would recur throughout del Toro's work.\n\n It goes on to cover his development as a director with 1997's Mimic, his blockbuster success with the Hellboy films and goes on to study the films which have cemented his status as a legendary auteur, Oscar award winners Pan's Labrynth and The Shape of Water, as well as his sci-fi masterpiece Pacific Rim, as well as looking at his exciting upcoming projects Nightmare Alley and Pinocchio.\n\n An enlightening look into the mind of an auteur blessed with a singular creative vision, Guillermo del Toro analyses the processes, themes and narratives that have come to be recognised as distinctly del Toro, from practical effects to an obsession with folklore and paganism. It looks into the narrative techniques, stylistic flourishes and creative decisions which have made him a true master of modern cinema.\n\n Presented in a slipcase with 8-page gatefold section, with scores of illuminating photographs of the director at work on set as well as iconic stills from his films and examples of his influences, this stunning package will delight all Guillermo del Toro devotees and movie lovers in general.\n\nUnauthorised and Unofficial.

Comprehensive and insightful, , is the ultimate companion to the master director's latest work.\n\nInspired by William Lindsay Gresham's cult 1947 novel, Nightmare Alley stars Bradley Cooper as Stanton \"Stan\" Carlisle, a talented but troubled drifter who takes up with a travelling carnival.

Also starring Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe, Richard Jenkins, and Rooney Mara, Nightmare Alley is del Toro's most ambitious film to date, an engrossing yet disturbing journey into the psyche of a tragic swindler whose own nature seals his fate.

Guillermo del Toro's cult masterpiece, Pan's Labyrinth (2006), won a total of 76 awards and is one of the most commercially successful Spanish-language films ever made. Blending the world of monstrous fairytales with the actual horrors of post-Civil War Spain, the film's commingling of real and fantasy worlds speaks profoundly to our times.\n\nImmersing herself in the nightmarish world that del Toro has so minutely orchestrated, Mar Diestro-Dopido explores the cultural and historical contexts surrounding the film. Examining del Toro's ground-breaking use of mythology, and how the film addresses ideas of memory and forgetting, she highlights the techniques, themes and cultural references that combine in Pan's Labyrinth to spawn an uncontainable plurality of meanings, which only multiply on contact with the viewer.\n\nThis special edition features an exclusive interview with del Toro and original cover artwork by Santiago Caruso.

Part of a new six-volume series of the best in classic horror, selected by award-winning director Guillermo del Toro.\n\n Howard Phillips Lovecraft's unique contribution to American literature was a melding of traditional supernaturalism (derived chiefly from Edgar Allan Poe) with the genre of science fiction that emerged in the early 1920s. The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Storiesbrings together a dozen of the master's tales - from his early short stories 'Under the Pyramids' (originally ghostwritten for Harry Houdini) and 'The Music of Erich Zann' (which Lovecraft ranked second among his own favourites) through to his more fully developed works, 'The Dunwich Horror', 'The Case of Charles Dexter Ward', and 'At the Mountains of Madness'. The book presents the definitive corrected texts of these works, along with Lovecraft critic and biographer S. T. Joshi's illuminating introduction and notes to each story.\n\n Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was born in Providence, Rhode Island, where he spent most of his life. His relatively small body of work - three novels and sixty short stories - has nevertheless exercised an incalculable influence on horror and supernatural fiction.
