Pan

by Francesco Dimitri · 2008

Pan is a brutal modern Italian retelling of the classic Peter Pan myth, presented in English for the first time. Set against the sprawling metropolis of Rome, the novel follows children who dream of a non‑existent island while an ancient god returns to the city, sparking a clash between anarchy and order. As deities battle for dominance, the sky fills with magic, pirates, and fierce combat, while the oblivious populace braces for the inevitable bloodshed. The story weaves together urban fantasy, horror, and mythic retelling, delivering a dark, high‑stakes vision of a world where ancient powers collide with contemporary life.
