Malice in Wonderland #1: Alice the Assassin - Paperback

by Lotus Rose (Author)

You've been misled. Lewis Carroll didn't reveal the whole story...
Alice never left Wonderland. She's trapped. She's angry. And she wants revenge.

If you're a fan of twisted fairy tales, you'll love this dementedly funny series, brought to you by the author of Dorothy vs. Alice.

The truth is not what you were led to believe. It wasn't all "just a dream." It's a nightmare. A nightmare she can't escape, where formerly pleasant characters throw her unhappy unbirthday parties to torment her, while others like to make her cry so they can lick her tears.

But one day after years of this unpleasantness, she loses her heart. Literally. Well, technically somebody steals it.

And she has to get it back. By any means necessary. And it's a lot easier to be ruthless now that she's heartless.

Alice is fed up with all the losers of Wonderland, from the sadistic Queen of Hearts to the goofy Mad Hatter to the bloodthirsty Cheshire Cat.

And she's tired of being so sweet and innocent, with all her dimples. She used to be a preteen, but today is her 13th birthday, and she'll be singing "unhappy birthday" loudly as she delivers violent justice! Yeah, she used to be so sweet you could die. Well, now they all shall die...literally.

It may be 1865, but Alice is about to go medieval.

She will have her heart returned to her even if she has to kill all the citizens of Wonderland one by one...

Author Biography

Lotus Rose writes delightfully weird tales about young characters in strange situations. At times dark, silly, or bawdy, his writing owes much to such influences as Alice in Wonderland and Roald Dahl, Piers Anthony and Douglas Adams, and explores themes like disillusionment, and the corruption of innocence. If his books were movies, they'd likely be directed by Tim Burton. He often writes in a style that is a more edgy, "grown-up" version of children's literature interspersed with his poetry and songs.
