Lewis Carrollâs Alice in Wonderland is ripe with retellings, but youâd be hard-pressed to find a darker, more gruesome version than Christina Henryâs. In this violent, twisted landscape, a broken Alice finds herself trapped in an insane asylum, with only one friendâHatcher. Known for being mad, heâs housed in the neighboring cell, imprisoned for killing people with a hatchet. We follow these damaged characters as they escape their prison and navigate a nightmarish world.

From Lisa's list on when you have a soft spot for fairy tales.
