Reviews
A fan of Del Toro
5By SpoonsOR23Guillermo Del Toro is phenomenal, I am forever a huge fan. I have watched the film "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark," it was amazing, to the point that I canNot watch it again, it struck my fear chords very hard. But I was so glad to find this prequel novel. Seeing the pathway to the later madness is still frightening but also exciting to read.
