Dark twist on a classic story

Fantastic take on a classic novel

Just read it! seriously!

I had this book bought for me by my SO because he knows I love Alice in Wonderland, so I wasn't really sure what to expect from this book. I definitely wasn't expecting to love it, but I did, I honestly couldn't put it down.

I love books with a bit of a dark twist, especially classic lit like Poe. If you love the classics and dark literature then this book is for you. Henry takes all the characters you love from Wonderland and makes them new and sinister. It's a fantastic take on a classic novel and I cannot recommend it enough.

I recommend book 2 in the chronicles too!

I definitely recommend it, she's wrote a second book for this too" red Queen, and also a retelling of Peter Pan (Lost Boy), which I thought was even better than Alice! So I definitely recommend reading both of those too, especially Lost Boy if you haven't already :)

classic Stories are timeless

As good as an audio book delivered to your phone

This is a great podcast, classic literature has stood the test of time for a reason. I found Captain Blood because of him, and it's now one of my favorite books of all time. He tends to select toward the horror side of things, but you can always find something you are interested in listening to. From Sherlock Holmes to Peter Pan. Herland to Pride and Prejudice. and lots of small stories in between.
