Guillermo del Toro returns to Pan’s Labyrinth with upcoming book

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Pretty much every movie Guillermo del Toro has made could be referred to as a "fan favorite", but some are more popular than others, and the filmmaker is set to return to the world of one of his most popular creations with the July release of the book Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun.

A collaboration between del Toro and bestselling author Cornelia Funke, Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun digs deeper into the concepts introduced in del Toro's 2006 film PAN'S LABYRINTH. The book transforms PAN'S LABYRINTH into 

an epic and dark fantasy novel for readers of all ages, complete with haunting illustrations and enchanting short stories that flesh out the folklore of this fascinating world.

This spellbinding tale takes readers to a sinister, magical, and war-torn world filled with richly drawn characters like trickster fauns, murderous soldiers, child-eating monsters, courageous rebels, and a long-lost princess hoping to be reunited with her family.

The book is described as "a portal to another universe where there is no wall between the real and the imagined", but it comes with a warning: 

This book is not for the faint of heart or weak in spirit. It's not for skeptics who don't believe in fairy tales and the powerful forces of good. It's only for brave and intrepid souls like you, who will stare down evil in all its forms.

The hardcover version of the book is 272 pages, and it's scheduled to reach store shelves on July 2nd.
