“Fans of gothic horror will be eager to follow Ben into the woods.”--Booklist "With visceral visions of nightmares, creepy prose and a pace as fast as the rush of horses’ hooves, Henry’s take on Irving’s classic story is a one-sitting read, a chilling romp into the forest that will remind readers that sometimes the scariest monster in the room is human nature ."--BookPage Praise for Christina Henry's novels "Satisfyingly upends the familiar tale of a clever girl, a dangerous wolf, and a brave savior, and folklore fans will enjoy this bloody near-future variation on a familiar theme."— Publishers Weekly "An engrossing page-turner that will delight anyone who loves running through thought experiments about the apocalypse.”—Paste "A riveting rewrite of Peter Pan."-- The Wall Street Journal "Multiple twists keep the reader guessing, and the fluid writing is enthralling....This is a fine addition to the shelves of any fan of children's classics and their modern subversions."-- Publishers Weekly "This wild, unrelenting tale, full to the brim with the freedom and violence of young boys who never want to grow up, will appeal to fans of dark fantasy."-- Booklist "A horrifying fantasy that will have you reexamining your love for this childhood favorite. Smooth, velvety prose blends well with the deliciously complex characters and intricate story line."-- RT Book Reviews (top pick) "It's full of magic and passion and courage, set against a convincing historical backdrop....Henry's spare, muscular prose is a delight.
