About the Books
Across these five standalone novels, Christina Henry reimagines the stories readers thought they knew. Lost Boy strips away the whimsy of Peter Pan to expose a tale of manipulation and lost innocence, narrated by the boy who becomes his rival. Red Queen follows Alice and Hatcher beyond the ruined Old City into a scorched wasteland ruled by a mysterious, vengeful queen. The Mermaid trades horror for folkloric romance, following a woman from the sea whose bond with a lonely fisherman becomes legend. Alice opens the series proper, plunging a memory-shattered woman into a grim asylum she must escape to reclaim her past. The Girl in Red closes the set with a post-apocalyptic spin on Little Red Riding Hood. Each book stands entirely on its own, yet together they showcase Henry's signature blend of fairy tale, horror, and unflinching emotional stakes—an excellent way to experience her imagination in one complete, gift-ready paperback set.
