Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities

My Notebooks, Collections, and Other Obsessions

Guillermo del Toro, Marc Scott Zicree · 2013

A lavish tour through del Toro's private notebooks, sketches, and collection of the macabre, revealing the obsessions and images that feed his films.

Less a book than a guided tour of del Toro’s imagination, this oversized volume opens his private notebooks, sketches, and the crammed rooms of “Bleak House,” the home where he keeps a lifetime’s collection of monsters, models, and macabre art. Reproductions of his handwritten pages sit beside essays and interviews about his films and influences. For anyone drawn to how a distinctive visual artist thinks, it is an intimate look at the obsessions that feed the work.
