The Mighty Hook
In this clever reimagining of a classic tale, it's up to Captain Hook to rescue his crew, escape the strange island, and stop that spoiled blood-thirsty brat Peter!
“A masterpiece of horror, action, suspense, and high seas pirate ship battles.” JOE DAVISON, Stranger Things
Considered a buffoon by fellow pirates, Captain James Hook is determined to avoid the gallows by leading his crew to an uncharted and mythical island. The deal was supposed to be simple: pretend to be sailors, deliver the goods, and collect payment from a mysterious client.
But now they're on the run from a century-old vampire who looks no more than fourteen and his fang-toothed Lost Boys are hot on their trail. A voodoo priestess, zombies, and cannibalistic mermaids patrol the coast, and all are prepared to use their dark magic to keep James Hook and his crew from escaping alive.
The Captain may just be the only one who can finally end Peter's reign of violent playtime and bloodshed. The future of America, and possibly the world, rests in the hands of the Mighty Hook!

This book was, in a word, incredible. I really enjoyed this Peter Pan reimagining, it was dark and gruesome in parts but it was also really creative and well thought out. I loved the idea of Peter being a child vampire, it just makes sense with him never aging and staying a child forever! Hook’s character reminded me a lot of Captain Jack Sparrow and I was here for it the entire time, the witty banter and his intense friendship with his crew mates really shone through. Something I didn’t see coming but also loved was the references to other stories, such as Niviene being the Lady of the Lake and having given Excalibur to Arthur, as well as the inclusion of Mama Laveau the Voodoo witch (alluding to Marie Laveau of New Orleans)
