Alice (Twisted Tales of Familiar Faces)
A dark inversion of Alice in Wonderland where Alice is a serial killer.
The story centers on the White Rabbit’s desperate attempt to survive Alice, who has become a corrupted figure of violence.

Their plan involves altering her perception to force her out of Wonderland. The narrative explores themes of betrayal and survival within a gothic framework. Brice reimagines familiar faces from Carroll’s work as sources of terror rather than wonder. This approach creates a disturbing tale that challenges the reader’s expectations of the classic story.
