""Here’s an 18-story anthology of murderous tidings from top crime writers taking slay rides with locked room mysteries, whodunnits and festive season tinsel-wrapped twists. Top contributors include Sarah Hilary, Liz Mistry, Claire McGowan, Belinda Bauer and Vaseem Khan - so, no turkeys!""—Peterborough Telegraph PRAISE FOR THE EDITORS “Marie O’Regan and Paul Kane have mustered an enviable crew of lost boys and girls to explore the shadowy side of Neverland, creating a new set of fables for a lost generation. Like a fistful of fairy dust, these stories transform Peter Pan into something thrillingly contemporary – take the second star to the right and read on ’til morning.” - British Fantasy Award winner Dan Coxon ""O’Regan and Kane have pulled the anthology together as only editors with consummate skill and experience can, and in terms of style and delivery, there really is something for everyone. It will be good to see The Other Side of Never take flight in the real world. There is certainly enough here to get anyone ‘hooked’.""—The British Fantasy Society ""Prepare for family secrets, crime scenes and many other tales to ponder what never growing up and Never Land really mean. I loved the collection’s ability to play with the concept and the tales all manage to run the emotions from happy to grief to fear with ease.""—Runalong the Shelves A magical, mythical, mystical collection that should appeal to fans of dark fables and traditional folk horror. - Den of Geek This anthology should satisfy most fantasy readers and is well worth a look. - Booklist These stories are by turns eerie, grotesque, and delightful... Readers won’t have to be Brothers Grimm fans to appreciate this dark mélange. - Publishers Weekly Review The editors have assembled a fantastic collection here, one that offers an array of talent and is packed with stories that are all worthy of a return visit... Certainly lives up to and surpasses expectations. - Starburst Magazine Review Puts new spins on old favorite stories and tropes, as well as offers a few completely new takes on the concept. - Book Riot Skin-crawling, tooth-grinding scary and sensuous... an excellent collection whose unforgettable, spooky images invoke the magic of daily life. - Foreword Magazine Review A strongly put together compilation, with very solid qualities... Really does achieve exactly what it set out to do. - The Bookbag Review
