Black Chaos II: More Tales of the Zombie

Ridler, Jason

The real story behind Through the Looking-Glass...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 and reluctant member of the undead Charles Dodgson has been banished from the Liddell household at the behest of Dean Henry Liddell's wife, and forbidden the presence of her daughters. Dark accusations against Dodgson abound, fostered by their mother.But years have passed, the girls have grown, and Mrs. Dodgson orders the girls to have their photographs taken--to display themselves on the marriage market--by one of the premier photographers of the time.None other than Charles Dodgson, also known as Lewis Carroll.But Alice does not wish to make things up with her old mentor; she does not wish to be put on the marriage market. What she wishes to is marry her childhood friend, Prince Leopold. But the Queen does not approve.All, however, may be moot, as the plague of the Infected once again rises, this time in a more virulent form, and carries away everything before it, like a flood. A tale of gaslamps, dark fantasy, and gothic horror delights.Part 2 of Alice's Adventures in Underland. Part 1 is Alice's Adventures in Underland: The Queen of Stilled Hearts.

Seventeen Tales of Monsters and the Macabre  A collection of short horror, ghost, and dark fantasy stories for adults, woven together by a flock of crows, telling stories to entertain a girl trying to survive a tragedy...

Then one day, evil erupts at the girl’s house.  The flock of crows abduct the girl, carrying her to a secret hiding place while all hell breaks loose at home.  To comfort her, they tell her stories of ghosts, horror, and hauntings—none of which are as heavy as the story she contains within herself...

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.

Alice's Adventures in Underland: The Queen of Stilled Hearts

Tick. Tock. Time is running out for Wonderland.When Alice Liddell got married and became Alice Hargreaves, she received one last gift from the man who immortalized her in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass—a watercolor painting. To anyone else, it’s just a normal painting of Oxford.But to Alice, it’s a portal to another world. One that she doesn’t dare go through anymore—as a wife, a mother, and a well-brought-up upper-class English lady. On the other side of the portal, another, younger Alice is being dragged into the beginning of a war. A war between the Wonderlanders that we know—and the ones on the opposite side, clockwork creations that used to maintain the clocks that drove Wonderland but have now forced their counterparts to slave from dusk until dawn. A cruel treaty constrains everyone from the humblest rabbit to the highest queen.And now the fragile peace between the Wonderlanders is coming to an end: the great clock that runs Wonderland is almost unwound, despite the best efforts of both sides…and just to make things worse, a group of traitors has been working toward the Great Unwinding, sabotaging all efforts of salvation.Only the grown-up Alice’s curiosity can save them now…
