We all know the story. Sweet little Alice follows the Black Rat down a home. Wait a minute! The Black Rat, shouldn’t that be the White Rabbit!?Not if you’re talking about Nickolas Cooks’ and Brent Cardillo’s creepy adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s timeless classic, Alice In Wonderland.
In their version Alice doesn’t just drop into a strange land of outlandish creatures. Oh sure she drops down a hole alright, but the land she drops into is far stranger than she could ever imagine.
Not only does she notice that her skin is cold, her flesh is rotting and her hair is falling out, but that everything and everyone (human and creature) and the living dead. That’s right; Alice has landed smack dab into the Wonderland of the dead: Zombieland.
Can poor Alice find her way back home before it’s too late? Will she survive long enough to escape the dead Red Queen? That’s what you’ll have to find out in Sourcebooks’ wickedly funny adaptation of a children’s classic illustrated in the style of the original Alice artist Sir John Tenniel. It’s a trip!
