Alice Is Not My Name is a dark, emotional fantasy novel blending strange fairy-tale imagery, an inward journey, and a moving story about grief.
Elias is nineteen. Since his parents died, he has been moving through the real world as if behind glass. He answers when people speak to him, smiles when he has to, but part of him already feels lost somewhere else.
One night, on an almost empty train, he sees a faceless white cat. Around its neck hangs a small golden key. Elias follows it. Beyond the door between two train cars, he discovers an impossible kingdom: Wonderland.
In this world, tired souls are called Alice. Little by little, they forget their true names, their memories, and the lives they came from. Some lose themselves in beauty. Others in anger, sleep, mirrors, or oblivion.
With the help of Baudelaire, a sharp-tongued girl with keys woven into her long braids, Elias must recover the lost pages of the First Alice's Book and reach the Door of Waking. But every step reveals a harder truth: sometimes, what looks like a refuge can become a prison.
This novel is for readers who enjoy:
dark fantasy worlds,
fairy-tale-inspired stories with a darker twist,
emotional stories about grief and healing,
strange symbolic places,
wounded but deeply human characters.
A poetic, unsettling, and heartfelt journey for anyone who has ever wanted to escape the real world without knowing how to return.
