Chronicles of Alice

"Mesmerizing...These somber, occasionally disturbing novellas offer a mature take on the children's story but balance the horrors of the City with hope. Henry's fans will be happy to return to this world, but readers need not be familiar with earlier installments to appreciate this twisted take on Lewis Carroll's classic tale."--Publishers Weekly

Fans will delight in discovering the unknown family backgrounds and future fate of Alice and her wild and bloody Hatcher.--Booklist (starred review)

Christina Henry's Alice takes the darker elements of Lewis Carroll's original, amplifies Tim Burton's cinematic reimagining of the story, and adds a layer of grotesquery from her own alarmingly fecund imagination to produce a novel that reads like a Jacobean revenge drama crossed with a slasher movie.--The Guardian (UK)

"A horrifying fantasy that will have you reexamining your love for this childhood favorite. Smooth velvety prose blends well with the deliciously complex characters and interesting storyline...A world that is nothing like Lewis Carroll ever imagined."--RT Book Reviews (top pick)
