For those that lived there, Neverland was a children s paradise. No rules, no adults, only endless adventure and enchanted forests all led by the charismatic boy who would never grow old.

But Wendy Darling grew up. She has a husband and a young daughter called Jane, a life in London. But one night, after all these years, Peter Pan returns. Wendy finds him outside her daughter s window, looking to claim a new mother for his Lost Boys. But instead of Wendy, he takes Jane.

Now a grown woman, a mother, a patient and a survivor, Wendy must follow Peter back to Neverland to rescue her daughter and finally face the darkness at the heart of the island.

'This book hooked me immediately with Wendy’s voice and rage and longing…what Wise does with the Peter Pan mythos here is nothing short of astonishing.' — Sam J. Miller, Nebula Award-winning author of Blackfish City

'Wendy, Darling is a daring, gothic re-envisioning of everything we think we know – and an important, vivid adventure.' — Fran Wilde, two-time Nebula award-winning, World Fantasy finalist author of Updraft

'Richly imagined, surprisingly dark, and heartbreakingly beautiful.' — Marian Womack, author of The Swimmers

'A dark and delightful retelling of Peter Pan. Wendy, Darling is a gorgeous achievement, and one you don’t want to miss.”' — Gwendolyn Kiste, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rust Maidens and Boneset & Feathers

'Neverland is more nightmare than dream…This rich tale of memory and magic is sure to resonate with fans of reimagined children’s stories.' — Publishers Weekly

'It’s the horror-tinged feminist Peter Pan retelling I never knew I needed…a brilliant re-imagining of a classic boy’s club story.' — Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam, author of Mantles and Entanglement

'A gorgeously imagined journey into the unfathomable depths of childhood myth.' — Kelly Robson, author of Gods, Monsters and the Lucky Peach

Booklist Magnificent... eloquently written and full of indelible characters, Wendy, Darling is a darkly beautiful story that proves to be as memorable as - and more meaningful than - its inspiration. Locus Beautifully detailed and unexpectedly unnerving Culturefly Review Praise for Catfish Lullaby This luscious, unsettling Louisiana horror novella from Wise boasts a contemporary, living-folklore aesthetic... visceral language conveys an experience of eerie magic that simultaneously lures and repels. Publishers Weekly, starred review With a potent atmosphere, a formidable antagonist, and well-drawn, unforgettable characters, this book has definitely got it all. An absolute must-read. Gwendolyn Kiste, author of The Rust Maidens Catfish Lullaby seamlessly combines Southern folklore with cosmic horror. There's an elegiac undertone to this lullaby that's as deep and mysterious as the bayou where it takes place. Craig Laurance Gidney, author of A Spectral Hue
