Guillermo del Toro est un cinéaste dont l'œuvre puise dans des genres aussi divers que la fantasy, l'horreur et le drame de guerre. Son style d'auteur se caractérise par une esthétique sombre et une profonde fascination pour les monstres et le surnaturel, qui reflètent souvent les peurs et les traumatismes humains. Dans le domaine littéraire, il s'est fait connaître en tant que coauteur d'une série d'horreur apocalyptique qui explore les thèmes de la survie et de l'humanité face à une menace imminente. Son écriture est aussi visuellement captivante et atmosphérique que ses films acclamés.

A horrific crime that defies ordinary explanation. A rookie FBI agent in dangerous, uncharted territory. An extraordinary hero for the ages. Odessa 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. Devasted, 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. Questioning 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 John Silence, 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.

Baltimora, 1962. Dopo aver perso l’uso della voce a causa di un incidente, la giovane Elisa conduce una vita spenta, senza ambizioni. Ma un giorno, all’interno del laboratorio in cui lavora come donna delle pulizie, entra per sbaglio in una stanza e fa una scoperta straordinaria: in una vasca piena d’acqua c’è una strana creatura. È sicuramente prigioniera e con ogni probabilità è lì perché oggetto di un esperimento. Ma cos’è? Anzi: chi è? All’insaputa di tutti, Elisa entra in contatto con quella creatura e tra i due si crea un legame sempre più forte. Un legame incomprensibile al mondo, che vede in lei una donna insignificante e nella creatura soltanto un mostro da studiare. Un legame che però ha i tratti e la forza del vero amore… Una fiaba dark, straordinariamente romantica e soprattutto attualissima perché affronta, con delicatezza e passione, la paura (ingiustificata) del diverso.
