Once again this author has provided a dark and twisted story. While equally awesome and horrific this short version of Alice in Wonderland was a nice quick dark read. This is story is twisted and absolutely amazing. A. Cain’s dark imagination has me one again questioning WTF did I just read? If you’re not a horror fan skip this book. However, If you are and you like your books dark and twisted like me, then this a MUST READ. I promise you won’t be sorry.
It’s very rare that I find an author that can write multiple genre’s well, but leave it to Addison… it doesn’t matter what she’s writing, it’s bound to suck you in and leave you begging for more. I can’t say I’m much of a horror genre fan, but hot dang, I gobbled up this story. As with everything else she’s written, Addison’s world building skills don’t disappoint in The White Queen. What a unique and twisted short story. This is definitely one of those books where you are going to finish it and think… WTF did I just read… and where can I get some more?? LOL If you love dark horror/fantasy stories, this book is right up your alley!
Walk down the rabbit hole with me. Meet Alice from her first meet with the demented red queen who visits her as a child to the mysterious Hatter, who pretends to keep them at bay until she fails to do as expected. See Alice as she grows u a young woman whose parents will not let her leave the house because of her nightly mishaps( well mishaps unless you are Alice).
A short twisted tale that the author has penned, this is a fantastic work of horror. Walk in and you’ll leave changed. I totally loved it.
What a remarkably wicked twist on Alice in Wonderland! This one could give you nightmares…the creepy, vivid imagery with the rabbit watching Alice, as well as the horrors poor Alice endured, made for some seriously scary thoughts about things that go bump in the night! Imaginative, hair-raising and fantastical!
It has been a few hours since I finished this book and what can i say.. It is a Addison Cain book.
I kept thinking poor Alice. She is unwanted and unloved all her life. She knows no kindness.
It is a dark, disturbing and very sad story.
“Is Alice as mad as the Hatter?”
I received an Advance Reader Copy for The White Queen written by Addison Cain and voluntarily reviewed this book. Only from this author can this twisted version of the innocent Alice in Wonderland come to be. It is dark and will jab and linger at the recess of your minds. Alice grew up in well-to-do society as sweet and innocent as can be, but her parents cannot believe the tall tales she tells. So what is worse than not being believed…and scarier, still…not being able to prove anything? LIVING her nightmares. Loved the thrills and chills reading this story induced!
I am a fan of many things, Alice in Wonderland one of them, and twists on stories or alternate history fiction… so this twist on Alice in Wonderland was right up my alley. The fact it was a dark tale without that Happily Ever After expectation made it intriguing. It was a thrilling read that lingered with me far after I was done. I wanted to know more about this world Addison Cain had created, which was both similar to the one we knew and so wildly different. It was definitely a dark story, and not for the faint of heart or those who can’t handle bad things which happen to innocent people. For the rest of you though, dive in and enjoy the madness. 😉
I’ve always thought Alice in Wonderland was a bit on the creepy side, but now I realize how truly creepy it can be. The author plunges us into a true horror story from the very first page. I kept thinking it has to get better for poor Alice, it has to get better, it just has to get better for her, but alas…
I’m not sure how to even describe the story. The writing is really good, and the story incredibly creative and original. I don’t know that dark even begins to describe it, I’m thinking grisly or maybe nightmarish is a better description. One thing for sure though, it’s definitely worth reading. Of course heed the warning, when Addison Cain says dark, she means dark.
Cain has a gift for making nightmares come to life in her retelling of this classic tale. You never knew what nightmares the Hatter had in store next for Alice. Each night the White Rabbit released a new terror with no way to escape. This story was truly horrifying but to good to put down. I was able to read it start to finish in one sitting. It’s short but so worth the read.
You won’t close your eyes at night….
The White Queen isn’t just frightening, it’s disturbing. Is Alice mentally disturbed or has she been driven crazy? Read it yourself to decide, but you won’t be the same afterwards.
Oh my life, what a dark and twisted treat this was!!! A retelling of the fairy tale Alice in Wonderland and it was utterly delicious in a very dark, twisted, horrifying and nerve wracking way!! Not for the faint hearted as this is no Disney version!!
I so love these dark fairy tale retellings, and this one is a corker. My daughter ‘had’ a white bunny with black eyes in her bedroom (I went straight in her room and took it out immediately after reading this) and has since been burnt after reading this story, but I’m half expecting it to reappear at any moment!!
I will never look at the Hatter, Cheshire Cat and Queen of Hearts in the same way ever again!
It was a quick read, but so very captivating, I couldn’t put it down – the descriptive writing and telling of the tale really got to me – it will mess with your head and give you the creeps, whilst feeling so very sorry for Alice and her situation. The feeling of dread that something was coming or watching me stayed with me for quite a while after reading this – give this one a go, I dare you!!
This telling is a dark and twisted horror version of Alice in Wonderland. Original in a slightly lighter and shorter version in a box set of adult fairytales. Fantastic in its form, but should not be read by the feint hearted.
In this version Alice is terrible neglected by her superficial parents and she is nightly tormented by grotesque versions the Red Queen, the twins, the Cheshire Cat, the white rabbit and the hatter. As her parents, the nanny and even the doctors from the psychiatric hospital refuses to believe, what other options does she have than to turn to her nightmarish tormentors.
One thing I have learned by reading Addison Cain’s books, is never to underestimate her power to change the way we look at things.
OMG what did I just finish reading? What a twisted short story. Talk about nightmare inducing, I never want to see a fluffy stuffed toy white rabbit ever again! In fact, after I finished reading this I went into my daughter’s room to make sure there weren’t any sinister toy bunnies hanging out in her room.
The White Queen is the retelling of Alice in Wonderland. This is not your Disney version at all! This version comes from the ever so twisted mind of Addison Cain. This story is a total mind screw. I can’t even go back and re-read it because you know…bunnies and stuff
I waited 24 hours after reading The White Queen to write this review because when I finished the story I wasn’t sure how I felt. But after some thought and the purge of any sinister looking stuffed animals from my house, I actually liked Ms. Cain’s take on Alice. It is very twisted, very, very dark, scary at times, very heartbreaking and a very different take on a classic.
As with all Ms. Cain’s books and stories, you need to be warned. This short story is not for the faint of heart. Also, this is the uncensored version of this story, so read with all the lights on and preferably hours before you go to bed.
A dark and twisted version of Alice in Wonderland.
Is a short and very entertained story.
If you like dark stories with no happy ending you would love this.
The imagination of Addison Cain doesn’t hace limits, the way she took this child’s story and mede her horror filled is fantastic.
