The dead walk the streets of Victorian England...but Alice's greatest dangers come from the living.
In a world that has survived a number of zombie plagues, the undead are shackled, enslaved, and feared. Young Alice Pleasance Liddell-the real Alice-encounters The Reverend Mr. Dodgson-an undead photographer & Oxford don whose charm enchants her and her sisters.
As Mr. Dodgson begins telling the sisters during a supervised boat trip a curious tale about Alice's adventures in Underland, that is, the land of the undead, secrets inadvertantly emerge from behind polite society's velvet curtains. Through chilling encounters with Mr. Dodgson, she confronts the horror of Victorian rules and the cruelty masked by civility, among both humans and the undead.
What separates humanity from monstrosity when both hide their hunger?
Alice must decide: will she follow the path laid before her, or carve her own through the darkness?
Step into the shadows of Underland and lose yourself in a world where wonder and terror dance hand in hand!
...
For fans of Victorian horror stories, zombie apocalypse books with historical settings, gothic fantasy novels, alternate history fiction, and dark fairy tale retellings. Older teens and up; not for younger readers (violence & gore).
