Overview
Christina Henry's Chronicles of Alice gathers seven paperback novels that twist beloved fairy tales, myths, and legends into unsettling, atmospheric horror. From a shattered Wonderland to a fisherman's haunted coastline, each standalone story shares Henry's signature blend of gothic dread and lyrical menace. Readers who love dark fantasy retellings, feminist reimaginings, and slow-burn horror will find a cohesive reading experience across the set. Bold heroines face down monsters both literal and human, while familiar tales are stripped of comfort and rebuilt as something stranger, making this collection a rewarding deep dive for horror and fantasy fans alike.

About the Books
This seven-book paperback collection brings together Christina Henry's most acclaimed dark fantasy and horror novels, many of them rooted in her celebrated Chronicles of Alice universe. Alice and its sequel Red Queen reimagine Lewis Carroll's Wonderland as a nightmarish asylum-city where a woman named Alice must piece together fractured memories to survive, while Looking Glass extends that world with a set of interlinked novellas exploring its darker corners. Lost Boy flips the Peter Pan mythos on its head, narrated by the boy history remembers as the villain. The Mermaid draws on New England folklore for a haunting, character-driven tale of a woman from the sea. Girl in Red reworks Little Red Riding Hood into a tense pandemic survival story, and Near the Bone closes the set with an isolated, claustrophobic horror about a woman trapped on a remote mountain with something terrifying stalking the woods. Across every title, Henry's prose is spare, immersive, and unflinching, favoring psychological tension over easy scares. Themes of captivity, memory, autonomy, and the cost of survival recur throughout, and her heroines are consistently drawn with grit and interiority rather than passivity. Because each novel stands alone, readers can start anywhere, though many fans prefer beginning with Alice to experience the Wonderland reimagining from its origin. Together, these seven books show why Henry is a defining voice in modern horror-fantasy, turning nostalgic stories into unsettling meditations on power, trauma, and resilience that reward readers who love slow-building dread.
