The Boy Who Smiled Too Much: A Dark Retelling Of Neverland

By Mark Bradley

The Boy Who Smiled Too Much
A Dark Retelling of Neverland

There are smiles that comfort you. And there are smiles that hollow you out.

In a version of Neverland you were never meant to see, joy is bait, laughter is currency, and memory is the only thing the island cannot steal from you. The children who vanish there do not fly, they fall. They are not lost, they are chosen.

At the heart of it all is a boy whose grin stretches a little too wide, lingers a little too long, and promises escape through play. But every promise on the island has teeth. Every game has a cost. And forgetting is not an accident, it is the design.

This is not a story about growing up. It is a story about being consumed before you ever get the chance.

For readers who crave unsettling myth, creeping dread, and fantasy that cuts close to the bone, The Boy Who Smiled Too Much twists a beloved legend into something stranger, darker, and unforgettable.

Welcome to the island. Try not to forget yourself while you're there.
