The acclaimed artist Brom brilliantly displays his multiple extraordinary talents in The Child Thief-a spellbinding re-imagining of the beloved Peter Pan story that carries readers through the perilous mist separating our world from the realm of Faerie. As Gregory Maguire did with his New York Times bestselling Wicked novels, Brom takes a classic children´s tale and turns it inside-out, painting a Neverland that, like Maguire´s Oz, is darker, richer, more complex than innocent world J.M. Barrie originally conceived. An ingeniously executed literary feat, illustrated with Brom´s sumptuous artwork, The Child Thief is contemporary fantasy at its finest-casting Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, even Captain Hook and his crew in a breathtaking new light.

"Ancient magics combine with feral logic to culminate in Brom´s The Child Thief. A retelling of Peter Pan spanning America´s earliest, magically rich beginnings to today´s bare whispers of belief. Wickedly poetic, The Child Thief makes me want to believe." Kim Harrison

Over the past few decades, Brom has lent his distinctive vision to all facets of the creative industries, from novels and games to comics and film. He is the author of The Child Thief and the award-winning illustrated horror novels The Plucker and The Devil´s Rose. Brom is currently kept in a dank cellar somewhere just outside of Seattle.
