Peter Darling

A queer, transgender retelling of Peter Pan in which Pan returns to Neverland after a decade in the real world.


The Lost Boys say that Peter Pan went back to England because of Wendy Darling, but Wendy is just an old life he left behind. Neverland is his real home. So when Peter returns to it after ten years in the real world, he's surprised to find a Neverland that no longer seems to need him.


The only person who truly missed Peter is Captain James Hook, who is delighted to have his old rival back. But when a new war ignites between the Lost Boys and Hook's pirates, the ensuing bloodshed becomes all too real - and Peter's rivalry with Hook starts to blur into something far more complicated, sensual, and deadly.

I literally added this to my to read because of a photo I saw of the dedications page on twitter.

This is a queer adaptation and continuation of the beloved Peter Pan that I didn't know I needed but which I adored every word of. I didn't think it was possible to like Peter Pan more than I already I do, and I was taken back to Neverland so easily despite it being years.

I fell in love with absolutely everything, Chants words are magical and I am entranced and want to read more of his works. His take on Neverland and Peter Pan is delicious, and I could want for anything more.
