Are you ready for a kid ’s book about monsters from Guillermo del Toro ? Then we ’ve got a dainty surprise for you . stop out an sole peek at the front cover of del Toro’sTrollhunters , which he co - drop a line with author Daniel Kraus ( Rotters ) .
We have n’t heard much about Trollhunters since 2010 , when del Torostruck a deal with Dreamworks Animation to write and direct a Trollhunters movie . At that fourth dimension , del Toro already had the book written and was planning on publishing it while he worked on directing the animated film . It ’s unreadable if the motion-picture show is still happening ( given that del Toro has a billion other task on his slating ) but the Christian Bible is at long last here . Back in 2010 , here ’s how del Toro describe the undertaking :
I wanted very much to develop a story that could be write for Thomas Kyd but dealt with a writing style that was scary . It essentially combines fairy tales with modern times and is about how difficult it is to be kid . usually , kid are idealize in invigorate films . But the growing botheration , married with the notion that there is a man right next to us that is completely plague by creatures of ancient lore , it ’s thematically fitting with the repose of my stuff .
And here ’s the official synopsis of Trollhunters , which is aimed at nestling 12 and up :
“ You are food . Those muscles you flex to walk , lift , and talk ? They ’re patties of meat topped with chewy tendon . That skin you ’ve paid so much attention to in mirrors ? It ’s delicious to the ripe tongues , a casserole of succulent tissue paper . And those bones that give you the strength to make your way of life in the earth ? They rattle between teeth as the centre is sucked down drivel throats . These facts are unpleasant but useful . There are things out there , you see , that do n’t cower in holes to be becharm by us and manipulate over our flak . These thing have their own ways of trapping their kills , their own ardor , their own appetites . ”
Jim Sturges is your typical adolescent in suburban San Bernardino — one with an embarrassingly overprotective pop , a good admirer list “ Tubby ” who shares his hate of all things torturous ( like gym class ) , and a crush on a girl who does n’t know he exists . But everything changes for Jim when a 45 - class old whodunit resurfaces , threatening the life of everyone in his on the face of it sleepy-eyed town . presently Jim has to team up with a circle of unlikely ( and some un - human ) torpedo to battle the teras he never knew exist .
