If you’re a fan of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There, check out my new audiobook from Pie Press. It’s a sequel to the original stories, in which a grown-up Alice goes back to Wonderland for a series of surreal and terrifying adventures. Here’s the cover by Superbad Ben Baldwin (an Englishman like the original stories’ author, Lewis Carroll, a.k.a. Charles Dodgson):
You can find the audiobook right here from Amazon, here from Audible.com, and on Apple iTunes (search for it by name, or start by searching my last name, Jeschonek). Here’s a bit more about the story, to whet your appetite: Alice has had a lousy life since she left Wonderland. All grown up and trapped in an uhappy marriage, she longs to escape. But when she finally manages to leap through the mirror, she gets one twisted shock after another. What ever happened to the crazy, charming Wonderland of her youth? This time, the Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle, Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee are out for blood. Something has warped the magical mystery realm, sending Alice reeling from one close shave to the next. And when she gets her day in the Queen of Hearts’ court, the verdict could be even more awful than “Off with her head!” Can a grown-up Alice survive the nightmare and escape her demented Wonderland? Or would she be better off staying in the lesser of two hells? The trip home could be a real killer.
