As far as Alice in Wonderland goes, it is one of my favorite fairytales. This is a dark re-telling of the Queen of Hearts and her life. The characters are explained as you meet them, and the Queen is a lust filled monarch, and she tortures humans in her dungeon. There is a whole lot of BDSM, and a lot of secrets held in the kingdom, and when a human child follows the rabbit down the hole it causes all kinds of problems for the Queen. A slow-paced re-telling, there is a murky Abyss, the White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, the Chessboard that’s played a little differently, and did I mention it’s dark?
