Something sinister waits within the trees . . .
Aiden Thomas received their MFA in Creative Writing from Mills College. Born in Oakland, CA, Aiden currently resides in Portland, OR, where they get most of their inspiration from the lush wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. As a queer, trans Latinx, Aiden advocates strongly for diverse representation in all media. Aiden is notorious among their friends for always being surprised by twist endings to books/movies and organizing their bookshelves by color. When not writing, Aiden enjoys exploring the outdoors with their dog, Ronan. Their cat, Figaro, prefers to support their indoor hobbies, like reading and drinking too much coffee. Cemetery Boys is their debut novel.
A poignant novel about resilience, the magic of childhood, and the
impossible choices that survivors often have to make in order to
move forward, this will haunt readers long after they put it down
but will also leave them looking up at the stars
*Booklist, starred review*
Absolutely delightful! Lost in the Never Woods is chock-full of
suspense, excitement, and nostalgia. Peter Pan is as thrilling and
seductive as ever, and Thomas’ heartfelt tale feels as ageless as
the legend himself.
*Romina Garber, New York Times-bestselling author of
Zodiac*
Thomas’s immersive prose and nuanced, trauma-informed perspective
add real depth to Barrie’s classic characters. Readers of Seanan
McGuire’s Wayward Children series and Laura E. Weymouth will settle
into this emotionally generous update.
*Publishers Weekly*
Thomas brilliantly creates a malevolent tone to what should be a
safe small town, crafting a feeling that something terrible is just
around the bend.... Characters are well-developed with surprising
and emotional story arcs which will leave readers looking at Peter
Pan in a whole new light. A captivating mystery that will ensnare
those who enjoy retellings and stories with a touch of magic.
*School Library Journal*
This spin on a well-known story focuses on childhood trauma,
growing up, loss, and letting go.... An intense, cathartic,
bittersweet tale
*Kirkus Reviews*
