Trollhunters
Trollhunters: The Book That Inspired the Netflix Animated Series TROLLHUNTERS! | Guillermo Del Toro, Daniel Kraus
12 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 11 to read
From Guillermo del Toro comes the book that inspired the Netflix Animated Series TROLLHUNTERS! "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.

Binge watching Trollhunters with my big girl this afternoon. We‘ve been at it for about 9 hours. I‘m a great mom, lol. Spontaneous cuddles with the pup for the win. She‘s been slow to love Bunny. Her Amy is still her best dog, despite having left us almost a year ago. The baby has no such qualms. She‘s had Bunny now almost as long as she had Amy, and she loves anything of the domestic housewolf variety. Even the baby Yorkie next door. #dogsoflitsy

I did it!!! I got ahead of my school work and finished Trollhunters this morning! towards the end it nearly made me cry. Such a great book. I have to treat the Netflix show as kind of different piece. I enjoy both in their separate ways. Love Claire in the book better!!! Now I might dive into Mort!

The storm has slowed everything down at work. I am sneaking in some fun reading. They finally decided to let us go home early. Anyone in New England right now be safe out there!

I got some crappy news. I applied for a position outside my department. I was told that I interviewed well, but the other person would be a better fit. I know who got the position and she is in my department and I am honestly happy for her. After the call, I cried. The department I work has become extremely negative. I was hoping to go to the department that I have been trying to work towards. Tonight I read for fun. No school work.

the.bookish.valkyrie Self-care is important! Especially when work is sucking it up! 🤞🏼Fingers crossed that you can secure a position in the department you want soon! 7y
Craftylikefox @ValkyrieAndHerBooks thank you 😊I‘m going to keep at it 7y
JoScho That stinks but maybe something even better will come up in the future 🤞 7y

TheAnitaAlvarez That sucks, but maybe it wasn‘t the moment and there‘s something so much better in store for you! 7y
Craftylikefox Thank you ☺️ @JoScho @TheAnitaAlvarez I am keeping my hopes and looking for something better 7y
SandyW Sorry about not getting the job. Whenever something hasn't gone my way, my mom had ALWAYS said, "Who knows what it was good for." It never seems to help in the moment though. God luck. 7y
Craftylikefox Thanks @SandyW the sting is pretty much gone. Now I am just focusing on school work and deciding where I actually want to go with the company 7y

I honestly can‘t get over how different the book is from the show. I mean, holy shit. I really need a Scottish trollhunting Claire.
