Are you a fan of Peter Pan?

Marked not safe from Brom ruining my childhood…

Peter Pan is supposed to save children.

This one recruits them into war.

This week on Book Slayers, Betty and Bonny venture into the twisted woods of The Child Thief by Brom—a brutal, heartbreaking, and absolutely bonkers reimagining of Peter Pan.

We're talking:

✨ A Peter Pan who is equal parts savior and manipulative menace ✨ Flesh-eating monsters and nightmare creatures ✨ Trauma, war, and what it means to grow up ✨ Why literally every adult in this book deserves jail ✨ The most horrifying fairies we've ever encountered ✨ And the question we cannot stop asking…

 

Peter Pan isn't here to save children.

This week on Book Slayers, Betty and Bonny deep dive The Child Thief by Brom—a dark, horrifying, and emotionally devastating Peter Pan retelling.

Expect:

• Dark fantasy discussion
• Unhinged reactions
• Horror creatures
• Twisted fairy tale lore
• Trauma analysis
• Questionable jokes

 

Was Peter ever the hero?

Expect dark humor, unhinged theories, hot takes, and probably a few moments where we question why we willingly read books that emotionally devastate us.

If you love dark fantasy, horror, twisted fairy tales, and chaotic book discussions—you've found your people.
