Its not safe for anyone alone in the woods. There are predators that come out at night: critters and coyotes, snakes and wolves. But the woman in the red jacket has no choice. Not since the Crisis came, decimated the population, and sent those who survived fleeing into quarantine camps that serve as breeding grounds for death, destruction, and disease. She is just a woman trying not to get killed in a world that doesnt look anything like the one she grew up in, the one that was perfectly sane and normal and boring until three months ago.
There are worse threats in the woods than the things that stalk their prey at night. Sometimes, there are men. Men with dark desires, weak wills, and evil intents. Men in uniform with classified information, deadly secrets, and unforgiving orders. And...

The Mermaid
Beautifully eloquent language... and the credible historical setting will draw readers into this lovely reimagined fairy tale.
Booklist (starred review)
Beautifully written and daringly conceived, The Mermaid is a fabulous story.... Henrys spare, muscular prose is a delight.
Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches
There is a current of longing that runs through The Mermaid: longing for the sea, for truth, for love. It is irresistible and will sweep you away.
Ellen Herrick, author of The Sparrow Sisters
A captivating tale of an intriguing young woman who finds herself in the world of the greatest showman, P. T. Barnum. Original and magical, this is a novel to dive into and savor.
Hazel Gaynor, New York Times bestselling author of The Cottingley Secret
Lost Boy
Christina Henry shakes the fairy dust off a legend; this Peter Pan will give you chills.
Genevieve Valentine, author of Persona
Multiple twists keep the reader guessing, and the fluid writing is enthralling.... This is a fine addition to the shelves of any fan of childrens classics and their modern subversions.
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
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
Turns Neverland into a claustrophobic world where time is disturbingly nebulous and identity is chillingly manipulated.... A deeply impactful, imaginative, and haunting story of loyalty, disillusionment, and self-discovery.
RT Book Reviews (top pick)
Henry keeps the story fresh and energetic with diabolical twists and turns to keep us guessing. Dynamic characterization and narration bring the story to life.... Once again, Henry takes readers on an adventure of epic and horrific proportions as she reinvents a childhood classic using our own fears and desires. Her smooth prose and firm writing hooked me up instantly and held me hostage to the very end.
Smexy Books
We all have a soft spot for the classics that we read when we were growing up. But... this retelling will poke and jab at that soft spot until you can never look at it the same way again.
Kirkus Reviews
An absolutely addicting read.... Psychological, gripping, and entertaining, painting a picture of Peter Pan before we came to know him in the film: the darker side of his history. The writing is fabulous, the plot incredibly compelling, and the characters entirely enthralling.
Utopia State of Mind
Alice
I loved falling down the rabbit hole with this dark, gritty tale. A unique spin on a classic and one wild ride!
Gena Showalter, New York Times bestselling author of The Darkest Promise
Alice takes the darker elements of Lewis Carrolls original, amplifies Tim Burtons cinematic reimagining of the story, and adds a layer of grotesquery from [Henrys] own alarmingly fecund imagination to produce a novel that reads like a Jacobean revenge drama crossed with a slasher movie.
The Guardian (UK)
A psychotic journey through the bowels of magic and madness. I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed the ride.
Brom, author of The Child Thief
A horrifying fantasy that will have you reexamining your love for this childhood favorite.
RT Book Reviews (top pick)
Red Queen
Henry takes the best elements from Carrolls iconic world and mixes them with dark fantasy elements.... [Her] writing is so seamless you wont be able to stop reading.
Pop Culture Uncovered
Alices ongoing struggle is to distinguish reality from illusion, and Henry excels in mingling the two for the reader as well as her characters. The darkness in this book is that of fairy tales, owing more to Grimms matter-of-fact violence than to the underworld of the first book.

Version_1
For Rebecca Brewer, because some heroines have a cupcake stash instead of wearing a cape
Somewhere in an American forest
The fellow across the fire gave Red the once-over, from the wild corkscrews of her hair peeking out from under her red hood to the small hand axe that rested on the ground beside her. His eyes darted from the dried blood on the bladejust a shadow in the firelightto the backpack of supplies next to it and back to her face, which she made as bland as rice pudding.
Red knew very well what he was thinking, what he thought he would be able to do to her. Men like him were everywhere, before and after the world fell apart, and it didnt take any great perception to see what was in their eyes. No doubt hed raped and murdered and thieved plenty since the Crisis (she always thought of it that way, with a capital letter) began. Hed hurt those he thought were weak or that he took by surprise, and hed survived because of it.
Lots of people thought that because she was a woman with a prosthetic leg it would be easy to take advantage of herthat she would be slow, or incapable. Lots of people found out they were wrong. Someone had found out just a short while beforehence the still-bloody axe that kept drawing the attention of the stranger whod come to her fire without invitation.
