    Be careful when you fall down the rabbit hole... because this isn’t your regular Wonderland. 
    AliƧin is living the dream – too bad she doesn’t feel like it. With the rockstar costume her manager forces her to wear feeling more like a straightjacket, she wishes she could ditch it all and just sing. 
    After her broken-down tour bus ends up stranding her in Nowhere, a chance encounter with a hysterical rabbit leaves her tumbling down the rabbit hole into Wonderland... only this isn’t the Wonderland everybody knows. 
    Stuck in a bizarre world and searching for her way home, AliƧin bumps into a quirky cast of characters – including the Mad Hatter, the Dormouse, and the Cheshire Cat – who, in many ways, seem as lost as she is. With a little advice and pieces of her rockstar costume, she helps each of them become who they were meant to be. 
    But when AliƧin catches the ire of her “most majestic majesty” the Red Queen, she’ll have to pull off the best concert of her life if she wants to escape Wonderland without losing her head. 
    Dive into a wild and wacky fairytale mashup that brings your favorite Wonderland characters to life with a refreshing new twist. Featuring enchanting music from award-winning composer Kevin Saunders Hayes, this book is an imaginative read that sweeps readers off their feet with a beautiful fusion of classic storytelling and rich soundtrack. AliƧin shows you what happens when Loony Tunes meets 2001: A Space Odyssey.

    Saving the world is such a bother when it makes you late for tea. 
     
     
     
    Wizard Lily Singer is kept busy managing library archives, studying magic, and trying to keep her witch friend Sebastian from dragging her into trouble. Unfortunately, he loves adventure even more than she loves being left alone. 
     
     
     
    She doesn't want to investigate a malignant spell in a haunted house, but Sebastian is promising rare books as the reward. She also doesn't want to hurt her family, but is tired of being lied to about her past. And she definitely doesn't want to get stuck in a dangerously unstable time loop, but Sebastian is in trouble—again . . . 
     
     
     
    Strangling her friend, as satisfying as it would be, won't fix her problems. If she wants answers, and to not miss tea, she had best find the right spell for the job—before everything goes to hell, and takes them all with it.

    A visionary new horror novel in the style of Wells' creepiest and most enduring fictions - for fans of classic horror with a modern twist.The island was just the beginning...In H G Wells' 1896 novel The Island of Dr Moreau a shipwrecked traveller finds himself alone on an island ruled by a mad doctor and inhabited by creatures who are at once both beast and human. He escapes to civilisation only after the scientist is dead and the beast-men have taken absolute control. Yet this is not the end of the matter. The peoples of the island are not done with humanity. Now the conflict between the two has begun in earnest.The City of Dr Moreau presents a sprawling history of the islanders, and an alternative vision of our own times. Spanning more than a century, criss-crossing across numerous places and many lives, we witness the growth of Moreau's legacy, from gothic experiments to an event which changes the world. From the wharves of Victorian London to a boarding house with an inhuman resident, to an assassin on a twentieth-century train ordered to kill the one man who knows the truth to a diplomat whose mission to parley with beast-men will surely be her last, we follow secret skirmishes and hidden plots which emerge, eventually and violently, into the open.A tribute to the genius of H G Wells from the author of Dracula's Child, The City of Dr Moreau is a visionary new horror novel in the style of Wells' creepiest and most enduring fictions.
