- This book the first critical exploration of Guillermo del Toro’s mid-career cinematic output and its wider engagement with an extensive range of interconnected cultural discourses. It move analysis beyond film studies to include literary criticism, cultural theory and queer theory. The research required analysis and interpretation of a diverse body of material including illustrations from Victorian Gothic literature, film memorabilia, and photography. In widening the scope of the project beyond auteur theory, the book initiates a discussion of del Toro’s role as an ambassador for ‘geek' culture and figurehead in contemporary transnational cinema.
