They were indeed a queer-looking party that assembled on the bank-the birds with draggled feathers, the animals with their fur clinging close to them, and all dripping wet, cross, and uncomfortable. All of them were covered in Alice's now cold and congealed blood, which made them even tastier looking to poor hungry Alice.
When little Alice follows the Black Rat down into the gaping darkness of an open grave, she falls and falls. And soon finds herself in an undead nightmare of rotting flesh and insanity. Venturing further into this land of zombies and monsters, she encounters characters both creepy and madcap along the way. But there's something else troubling poor Alice: her skin is rotting and her hair is falling out. She's cold. And she has the haunting feeling that if she remains in Zombieland any longer, she might never leave.
Can Alice escape Zombieland before the Dead Red Queen catches up to her
My thoughts
A lot of classic novels are being retold with a horrific theme, and Alice in Wonderland is one of them. This retelling has Alice following a black rat and falling down an open grave and into Zombieland. Although written with a humorous bent and following the original somewhat, I did not find this to be as exciting or interesting as I first hoped.
Disclosure: I received this book for review from the publisher. I received no compensation for my thoughts.
