Before Lewis Carroll wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, he was humble Charles Dodgson, mathematician at Christ Church college...and a zombie. Kept sane by a serum, chained to an iron ball, considered one of the finest amateur photographers in Britain, and friend to the three charmingly edible daughters of his superior and owner, Dean Liddell, Mr. Dodgson has quite the story to tell.And at least one of the girls, Alice, is entirely willing to listen.Even if it means that her strange zombie friend should have to be killed.

The Queen of Stilled Hearts

Alice's Adventures in Underland

The real story behind Alice's Adventures in Wonderland?It was a Britain that had been overrun by a plague of zombies.A Britain that had fought the zombies, not quite won, and yet declared victory.The rabid dead had been mercifully put down. The less virulently infected were treated with a sort of fungal "tea" that kept their urges to eat their fellow men at bay. With a bit of effort and discipline, one of the Infected could be right as rain.Oxford Don Charles Dodgson is one of the Infected dead, but an altogether charming fellow nonetheless. A fabulous mathematician, and a follower of the new "fad" of photography. Fond of children. Little girls especially. But not fond of eating them.Most of the time. The dean of Christchurch College, Henry Liddell, has three willful young daughters, quite bright, wonderful at games: Lorina, Alice, and Edith. With a little supervision, he can certainly keep three of such charming girls entertained-With a tale of the place the Infected dead come from. Underland.A tale of gaslamps, dark fantasy, and gothic horror delights.Part 1 of Alice's Adventures in Underland. Part 2 is Alice's Adventures in Underland: The Knight of Shattered Dreams.

The year is 1816, in Northamptonshire. A red, spiderwebbed haze covers the sun. Temperatures drop, fields flood and freeze, grain rots on the stem. The people are starving, and even the wealthy and titled are affected by shortages. Sickness spreads as a red fungus overtakes fields, seals over windows, and infiltrates cellars.On the way back from the Napoleonic Wars in France, Marcus, the younger son of the Earl of Penderbrook, returns to find his brother dead, the estate covered in fungus, and his father sinking into madness.The last thing Marcus wants to do is be responsible for Penderbook; he wants only to spend the rest of his life playing cards, drinking, and seducing other men's wives. But even the responsible life of an heir escapes from his grasp, as his brother's body disappears, his father turns violent, and pale monsters horrify the countryside.As Marcus pieces together the truth, he discovers a past more tainted with evil than he could have suspected.From the family wine cellar to the folly behind the house-from the pond where he played as a child to the new cotton mill built along the stream-None of what happens at Penderbrook is innocent.And the monstrosities that have been committed may still be carried in Marcus's blood?
