Guillermo del Toro’s Required Reading
A collection of Guillermo Del Toro’s required reading!
This list is from an interview he did with Jack Edwards on his YouTube. You can find the video here
In the video he mentions some authors instead of books so I chose some the popular ones or collections.
If anyone has seen any other interviews where he mentions other books let me know and I’ll add them!
Note: These are not books written by him, but books he recommends.

Hello! I made this list because GDT is my favorite director and I love how his mind works! So stumbling onto an interview of the books he loves was so cool and I wanted to share (:
Oh! I love this list! 🙂↕️ I love Guillermo, he has such a great vivid mind! So I’m sure every single book has to be A MA ZING! Thank you for making this list Saraih!! 🫶🏼

He’s so cool! I did a meet and greet for him to sign his book from his exhibit in LA in 2016 and it was so cool! Only got to shake his hand and say hi while he signed my book since we were there for 5 or 6 hours in line and I was the second to last person to be let in before they stopped letting people. But even though he was there for hours signing he was still very kind to everyone.
