Review: Alice - Book #1 The Chronicles of Alice - Christina Henry - August 2015 Christina Henry's *Alice* is a haunting, dark reimagining of the classic *Alice in Wonderland*, set in a grim world that is as twisted as it is intriguing. In this version, Alice isn't a curious child following a rabbit down a hole—she is a woman trapped in a dilapidated asylum, plagued by fragmented memories of her past and the remnants of a terrifying childhood encounter. Her hair, once blonde, now hangs in tangled clumps, symbolizing her fractured mind and the horrors she's endured. The novel opens with Alice in the hospital of the Old City, a crumbling place filled with desperate souls. She has no memory of how she ended up there, only fragmented recollections of a tea party, long ears, and blood. It's a chilling beginning, one that immediately pulls the reader into a world that is anything but whimsical. A fire sets Alice free, but her escape unleashes more than just her own freedom. Al...
