HORSEMAN
“Fans of gothic horror will be eager to follow Ben into the woods.”
—Booklist
“With visceral visions of nightmares, creepy prose, and a pace as fast as the rush of horses’ hooves, Henry’s take on Irving’s classic story is a one-sitting read, a chilling romp into the forest that will remind readers that sometimes the scariest monster in the room is human nature.”
—BookPage
NEAR THE BONE
“Utterly gripping.”
—The New York Times
“Hair-raising, heart-stopping suspense from start to finish. A perfect nightmare of a novel.”
—Rachel Harrison, national bestselling author of Black Sheep

—Locus
THE GHOST TREE
“Christina Henry’s riff on classic small-town horror is full of dread and dark magic, with themes that resonate heavily in twenty-first-century America. Henry’s storytelling is her own sort of witchcraft.”
—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Ararat and All Hallows
“Henry is able to keep all the strands of her spiderweb woven together in a neat and concise way. . . . The end result is a complex, interesting story that maintains suspense and intrigue page after page after page.”
—Sadie Hartmann, Cemetery Dance

—Booklist (starred review)

—Louisa Morgan, author of The Great Witch of Brittany
“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.”

LOST BOY
“Christina Henry shakes the fairy dust off a legend; this Peter Pan will give you chills.”
—Genevieve Valentine, author of Icon
“Never wanting to grow up, never wanting anyone else to grow up, doesn’t look like such an innocent and charming ambition anymore. . . . Lost Boy is a riveting story on its own, but it gets extra force from its questioning of what we used to take for granted. Heroes and villains: It seems we got them the wrong way round.”
—The Wall Street Journal

—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)
RED QUEEN
“Henry takes the best elements from Carroll’s iconic world and mixes them with dark fantasy elements. . . . [Her] writing is so seamless you won’t be able to stop reading.”
—Pop Culture Uncovered
“Alice’s 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 Grimm’s matter-of-fact violence than to the underworld of the first book.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
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 Phantom
“Alice takes the darker elements of Lewis Carroll’s original, amplifies Tim Burton’s cinematic reimagining of the story, and adds a layer of grotesquery from [Henry’s] 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 Slewfoot
