Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun

Daniel Kraus

It is 1962, and Elisa Esposito-mute her whole life, orphaned as a child-is struggling with her humdrum existence as a janitor working the graveyard shift at Baltimore's Occam Aerospace Research Center. Were it not for Zelda, a protective coworker, and Giles, her loving neighbor, she doesn't know how she'd make it through the day.Then, one fateful night, she sees something she was never meant to see, the Center's most sensitive asset ever: an amphibious man, captured in the Amazon, to be studied for Cold War advancements. The creature is terrifying but also magnificent, capable of language and of understanding emotions... and Elisa can't keep away. Using sign language, the two learn to communicate. Soon, affection turns into love, and the creature becomes Elisa's sole reason to live. But outside forces are pressing in. Richard Strickland, the obsessed soldier who tracked the asset through the Amazon, wants nothing more than to dissect it before the Russians get a chance to steal it. Elisa has no choice but to risk everything to save her beloved. With the help of Zelda and Giles, Elisa hatches a plan to break out the creature. But Strickland is on to them. And the Russians are, indeed, coming. Developed from the ground up as a bold two-tiered release-one story interpreted by two artists in the independent mediums of literature and film-The Shape of Water is unlike anything you've ever read or seen.

The Shape of Water

The strain

Chuck Hogan

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.

Um dos filmes mais aclamados dos últimos tempos, O Labirinto do Fauno transborda das telas do cinema em obra que expande o universo de fantasia e horror da obra-prima de Del Toro Quando estreou nos cinemas, O Labirinto do Fauno encantou público e crítica com sua história que mesclava sonho e realidade, trazendo para o universo da fantasia o cruel cotidiano da Espanha fascista de Franco. Mais de dez anos depois, a produção permanece conquistando fãs e mostrando que boas histórias são atemporais. Nesta edição mais do que especial, o escritor, diretor e roteirista mexicano Guillermo del Toro — a mente por trás do filme e um dos artistas mais inventivos dos últimos tempos — se une a Cornelia Funke, premiada escritora de contos de fadas modernos e autora da trilogia Mundo de Tinta, para narrar a jornada de uma menina pelo Reino dos Homens e pelo Reino Subterrâneo. No ano de 1944, Ofélia e a mãe cruzam uma estrada de terra que corta uma floresta longínqua ao norte da Espanha, um lugar que guarda histórias já esquecidas pelos homens. O novo lar é um moinho de vento tomado pela escuridão e pela crueldade do capitão Vidal e seus soldados, dispostos a tudo para exterminar os rebeldes que se escondem na mata. Mas o que eles não sabem é que a floresta que tanto odeiam também abriga criaturas mágicas e poderosas, habitantes de um reino subterrâneo repleto de encantos e horrores, súditos em busca de sua princesa há muito perdida. Uma princesa que, segundo os sussurros das árvores, finalmente retornou ao lar. No livro, a narrativa de Ofélia é intercalada com ilustrações e contos de fadas inéditos, baseados em elementos-chave de O Labirinto do Fauno. A obra é uma impactante ode ao poder das histórias, seja em imagens ou palavras, e a sua capacidade de transformar a realidade a nossa volta.
