#Giveaway #TROLLHUNTERS by Guillermo Del Toro & Daniel Kraus @DisneyHyperion

trollhuntersABOUT THE BOOK

“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 right tongues, a casserole of succulent tissue. And those bones that give you the strength to make your way in the world? They rattle between teeth as the marrow is sucked down slobbering throats. These facts are unpleasant but useful. There are things out there, you see, that don’t cower in holes to be captured by us and cooked over our fires. These things have their own ways of trapping their kills, their own fires, their own appetites.”

Jim Sturges is your typical teen in suburban San Bernardino— one with an embarrassingly overprotective dad, a best friend named “Tubby” who shares his hatred of all things torturous (like gym class), and a crush on a girl who doesn’t know he exists. But everything changes for Jim when a 45-year old mystery resurfaces, threatening the lives of everyone in his seemingly sleepy town. Soon Jim has to team up with a band of unlikely (and some un-human) heroes to battle the monsters he never knew existed.

From the minds of horror geniuses Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus comes a new illustrated novel about the fears that move in unseen places.

 

PRAISE FOR TROLLHUNTERS

“Guillermo del Toro’s name on the cover of a children’s book –  be sure the adventure is not for the timid hearted! He knows the young want stories that do not lie about the shadows under beds and bridges – and in human hearts. Trollhunters teaches us about both kinds. About true friendship, grim and slimy heroes, the strength of outsiders- and the courage it takes to face everyday life.” – Cornelia Funke, Bestselling author of the Inkheart trilogy

 

“Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus have deftly forged a thrilling, nightmare-inducing monstrous world filled with terrifying trolls, lost boys and mysterious artifacts. The gruesome text, paired with ghoulish illustrations, makes for a fantastic adventure in an underground kingdom that’s just a dangerous as the trials and tribulations of middle school. I’m never looking under my bed again.” – Tony DiTerlizzi, Bestselling author and co-creator of The Spiderwick Chronicles

  1. I’m a pretty big wuss I don’t watch much horror. But I love the old Hitchcock’s like Psycho.

  2. Boy, that’s a hard one. I love horror movies. I love creature features and the unseen entities than attack and possess. I guess I’d say Jaws as I still watch it occassionally.

  3. Hmm, from all time, probably Poltergeist. But lately I’ve liked some of the Paranormal Activity movies, as well as Insidious and The Conjuring.

  4. Horror is my favorite of all time genres. It is not your typical horror but my favorite is Evil Dead. I love Bruce Campbell movies! Next favorite is The Exorcist.

  6. I’m not big on movie titles so what ever those Bruce Campbell movies with the chainsaw are called ;).

  7. I’m not a huge fan of horror… because, well, it scares me. LOL. Some of my best memories from being a kid though are from watching scary movies with my mom and her laughing at them while I cowered under a blanket.

  9. My favorite horror movie is Grave Encounters.

    Thanks for the chance to win!!

  11. Oh wow….so many!! Original Nightmare on Elm Street was hugely scary when it came out…it was such an original idea. I still love it, but it’s been over done for sure. Alien was scary also. Nowadays it’s really hard to be scared, everything’s been overkilled.
    Love the art on this book…thanks for the giveaway!!!

  12. I have so so many! Thirteen Ghosts was the first one to pop into my head so I’ll say that one.

  13. I would love to read this one with my nephew. He just discovered Goosebumps and I have a ton of those from my kids plus the movie coming out.

  19. There are so many horror movies I love, but I suppose I’d have to choose one of the movies based on a Stephen King book. I love Christine – the thought that my car can take over while I’m driving it and murder my friends, family, or even me, is chilling. I also love The Shining (the first one – even though it’s horrible compared to the book). The scenes in the movie creeped me out considerably.

    Thanks for another great giveaway.

  28. The Saw movies and El Labrintino Del Una Fauno! I am a HUGE Guillermo Del Toro fan since he made that movie!

  29. Thirteen Ghosts, Stay Alive, and The Shinning are my favorite horror movies. 🙂

  30. The Omen, The Exorcist and Halloween are all favorites, I can’t pick just one 😉
