| book description |

Released in 2001, Guillermo del Toroâ€™s The Devilâ€™s Backbone marked out the director as a singular talent with the unique ability to mix the macabre with the sublime. Set during the Spanish Civil War, the film focuses on ten-year-old Carlos (Fernando Tielve), an orphan taken in by Republican sympathizers. On his first day at the orphanage, he witnesses a ghostly apparition, the spirit of a young boy named Santi (Andreas Munoz). With the ghostâ€™s help, Carlos must uncover the dark secrets that led to Santiâ€™s death. Seen by del Toro as a spiritual companion piece to his Oscar-winning Panâ€™s Labyrinth (2006), The Devilâ€™s Backbone explores similar themes against the backdrop of the same brutal conflict that turned ordinary men into monsters. This book is written in close collaboration with the director and provides the definitive account of the filmâ€™s creation, covering everything from del Toroâ€™s initial musings through to the haunting designs for Santi, the hugely challenging shoot, and the overwhelming critic and fan reactions upon its release.
