![]() ![]() To find it, Alice and Hatcher are forced deep into the bowels of the Old City, a place run by overlords - the Walrus, the Carpenter, the Caterpillar and Cheshire. ![]() And then one night a fire at the hospital sets them both free, but their suffering is far from over.Īfter escaping, they see a shadow of a monster watching them and somehow Hatcher knows what it means: the Jabberwock is free. Her only friend is Hatcher - the man who talks to her from the next cell and also remembers very little of his life before. ![]() Ever since Alice returned to her parents after going missing as a child, with blood running down her legs, missing memories, and strange inexplicable abilities, she has been deemed mad. It's a horor-fantasy style setting in a fictional place called the Old City. ![]() The world created here is not our world and it is not Wonderland. If you like your retellings to stay close to the original, then don't waste your time with Alice - it is very different. The author gets extremely creative with this world, weaving in characters we recognize from the original Alice in Wonderland but telling a very different kind of story. This is one of the best, darkest and most disturbing retellings I have ever read. Blood on her hands and under her feet, blood in her mouth and pouring from her eyes. ![]()
