Alice, by Christina Henry (signed hardcover, english edition)

She doesn't remember why she's in such a terrible place. Just a tea party long ago, and long ears, and blood.

Alice by Christina Henry
(Signed Hardcover — Deluxe Edition with new cover and special finishes)

The dark retelling that will make you forget everything you thought you knew about Wonderland.

In a warren of crumbling buildings and desperate people called the Old City, there stands a hospital with cinderblock walls that echo the screams of the poor souls inside. In the hospital, there is a woman. Her hair, once blond, hangs in tangles down her back. She doesn't remember why she's in such a terrible place. Just a tea party long ago, and long ears, and blood.

Then, one night, a fire gives the woman a chance to escape — tumbling out of the hole that imprisoned her, leaving her free to uncover the truth about what happened to her all those years ago. Only something else has escaped with her. Something dark. Something powerful. And to find the truth, she will have to track this beast to the very heart of the Old City, where the rabbit waits for his Alice.

Inspired by the twisted and wondrous works of Lewis Carroll, Christina Henry delivers a mind-bending, deeply disturbing dark fantasy that is unlike any retelling you have ever read. This gorgeous signed hardcover edition features a brand-new cover and deluxe finishes — a collector's piece as dark and beautiful as the story within.

But what stood out wasn't the darkness.

It was the themes underneath.

🖤 Memory and the Lies We Tell Ourselves
🖤 Surviving What Should Have Broken You
🖤 The Truth Hidden Behind a Pretty Story
🖤 Reclaiming Yourself from Those Who Stole You
🖤 What Happens When the Fairy Tale Turns Feral
🖤 Madness as a Form of Resistance

At Dark Rose, we believe stories are often about far more than their plot.

You may never find yourself locked in a hospital in the Old City, chasing a beast through crumbling streets to find the truth about your own past.

But you may know what it feels like to have your memories twisted, to be told your reality isn't real, or to fight your way back to yourself through a world that insists you are broken.
