February Horror Book Club: The Shape of WaterDive into a hauntingly romantic February book club with The Shape of Water by Guillermo del Toro & Daniel Kraus — an unforgettable tale where loneliness, desire, and the unknown collide. Set against the backdrop of Cold War secrecy, the story follows Elisa, a mute woman working in a government research facility, who discovers a mysterious aquatic creature being held captive. What begins as quiet curiosity unfolds into an intimate bond that defies science, fear, and the limits of human connection.
This modern gothic fairytale blends romance, horror, and political tension, asking bold questions about love, otherness, and who we choose to see as human. Expect rich discussion about monsters, empathy, government paranoia, disability representation, and the way love blooms in the most unlikely shadows.
Perfect for readers who enjoy lush atmosphere, emotional intensity, forbidden love, and stories that feel both eerie and breathtakingly tender.
