GIVEAWAY: Trollhunters by Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus





 Pre-Order Trollhunters from Amazon Here

Fantasy Book Critic is excited to partner with Disney-Hyperion to celebrate the release of the first YA novel from horror film legend Guillermo del Toro with Daniel Kraus. In celebration of the event, we will be hosting a giveaway as well as promoting the upcoming signing event with Guillermo del Toro & Daniel Kraus

Trollhunters will be available in stores July 7, 2015!

Thank you to Disney-Hyperion for providing all samplings and prizes. 

Book Synopsis for 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.
