Tomás Hijo was born in Spain. He is an illustrator and a
professor of illustration at the University of Salamanca in Spain.
He has illustrated more than seventy books and written ten of them,
most of which are related to legends and folklore, from ancient
legends to creepypasta, from medieval miracles to a brief history
of magic. This interest has led him to collaborate frequently with
well-known Spanish radio and TV shows about Forteana and paranormal
phenomena. With printmaking as his technique of choice, his works
belong to private collections all around the world, including
Guillermo del Toro’s and Mike Mignola’s. His work has been
exhibited in many galleries through Europe and the United States.
His interest in the works of H. P. Lovecraft led to the birth of
Nictonomicon, a collection of prints that has attracted the
interest of the most important people in the field. Hijo received
the Best Artwork Award from the Tolkien Society in 2015 in
recognition of his works about J. R. R. Tolkien’s books.
Guillermo del Toro is the acclaimed director of The Shape of Water,
Pan’s Labyrinth, Pacific Rim, and Crimson Peak. His Strain novels
are international best sellers. He lives in Los Angeles with his
wife, kids, dog, cat, and rat.
