Guillermo del Toro, the esteemed filmmaker behind both Pan’s Labyrinth and Shape of Water, is now working on a collection of short stories for Amazon Original Stories.

While most of del Toro’s work is made to be viewed, though this isn’t his first publishing credit. Del Toro co-wrote The Strain novels with Chuck Hogan, a fiction series about the clashes between the vampire and human worlds.

Most of del Toro’s work deals heavily with the supernatural, and this upcoming work will be no exception. The publisher has stated that the collection “will introduce a world of strange happenings, otherworldly horror, and dark fantasy.”
While working on this project del Toro is also making a stop-motion adaptation of Pinnocchio for Netflix, and a live-action adaptation of William Lindsay Gresham’s novel Nightmare Alley, so it’s likely that his novel won’t be hitting shelves until 2021.
Right now the work is still untitled, though we look forward to future updates!
