In the book, the Reader is invited to Bleak House, a huge collection of artifacts and mementos that offer personal inspiration and reference material. Even only looking at the photographs brought strong emotional connections to mind of films and stories that I loved. Bleak House becomes a physical entryway into the mind of Guillermo del Toro ... not too unlike a literal version of “Being John Malkovich.” If you're coming to Coles by car, why not take advantage of the 2 hours free parking at Sainsbury's Pioneer Square - just follow the signs for Pioneer Square as you drive into Bicester and park in the multi-storey car park above the supermarket. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. You don't need to shop in Sainsbury's to get the free parking! Where to Find Us Well, that's always good to hear. Before I let you go, I was also a big fan of American Gods, and I know that Neil is trying to get like a film finale made for it. Have you heard anything, or how are you feeling about possibly doing that? Like I said, it's a challenge, but I really hope and very much would love to finish it, because the end was a great part for my character, I really want to do it. [Laughs] So I very much hope they do something, and from what I understand, I'm not sure, I haven't spoken with Neil Gaiman personally about it, but I think he wanted to get another entire season. I think that the financier were offering something less than a season, but that was all that I know about it, I would just like to finish it. For me personally, it wouldn't matter if it was a whole season or just a final thing to finish the book. But then, of course, it's Neil Gaiman's book, so I would want him to be happy. So, I hope it happens, that would be great.

Eventually, she discovers a dark secret: a mother killed her child there. Croot, James (October 27, 2022).

When this book came in the mail, I was almost stunned by its size. I knew it was a big book, but wow...I didn’t know it was this big. And that is certainly not a complaint, either. There’s a wealth of knowledge crammed into this tome and it is something every fan of cinema should own. The beginning of the book is actually pretty fascinating in and of itself. It's a tour of sorts through Bleak House, del Toro's second home and studio. It's exploding with all of his artistic and literary collections. As much as I want to pore over his notebooks, I also want to physically walk through his various rooms and talk to him about every piece of artifact he has in each one. Everything there has a story, some of which are detailed here in the book, but I want more, dammit. I'm insatiable.
