    About this audiobook

    *Winner of the 2018 Golden Globe Award for Best Director of a Motion Picture*

    *Winner of the 2018 Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director*

    Visionary storyteller Guillermo del Toro and celebrated author Daniel Kraus combine their estimable talent in this haunting, heartbreaking audiobook.

    The Shape of Water is set in Cold War-era Baltimore at the Occam Aerospace Research Center, which has recently received its most sensitive asset ever: an amphibious man captured in the Amazon. What unfolds is a stirring romance between the asset and one of the janitors on staff, a mute woman who uses sign language to communicate with the creature.


    Developed from the ground up as a bold two-tiered release—one story interpreted by two artists in the independent mediums of literature and film—The Shape of Water weaves together fantasy, horror, and romance to create a tale that is equally gripping on the big screen, and as an audio performance.


    Prepare for an experience unlike anything you've ever heard or seen.

    "Jenna Lamia's luminous narration of a love like no other is profoundly affecting and transformative." — AudioFile Magazine

      I greatly enjoyed the twists and turns of this story. I suspected she might be some form of merperson when the scars were mentioned, but also really enjoyed how land person she was portrayed as. There were many other instances of great foreshadowing and the layers of the story were amazing.

      The book is amazing. This recording is not.


      The audiobook is not full. It skips a TON of content, and has random jumps and double backs.
