An all original anthology of stories inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. "Alice" has been read, enjoyed, and savored by generations of children and adults since its publication. It's hallucinogenic, weird, imaginative and full of wordplay, mathematical puzzles, and political and social satire.
Ellen is looking for stories from a variety of writers in and outside the field of fantastic fiction who are passionate about Alice in Wonderland, and have riffed and comment in their stories on the many aspects of that brilliant work. The stories are not pastiches, but weird tales inspired by the strangeness of events and characters in Carroll's masterpiece.
Ellen has already accepted stories and poems from Seanan McGuire, Jane Yolen, Catherynne M. Valente, Delia Sherman, Genevieve Valentine, Priya Sharma, Stephen Graham Jones, Richard Bowes, Jeffrey Ford, Angela Slatter, Andy Duncan, C.S.E. Cooney, Matthew Kressel, Kris Dikeman, and Katherine Vaz, with the last few selections to be settled shortly.

Praise for The Doll Collection
-Dolls, like clowns, are one of the totems of childhood that somehow seem sinister in adulthood. Award-winning editor Datlow has arranged a strong, themed anthology without ever resorting to the -evil doll- cliche of horror movies. There isn't a bad story in the bunch.- --Library Journal
-Truly amazing authors takes readers into that dark and frightening 'doll' world, and for those who are not yet scared silly of the porcelain faces, you will be after this . . . Five stars . . . and leave on the lights.- --Suspense Magazine
