The Dark Adventures Of Cheshire Cat

Some smiles are born long before the face that wears them.Before Wonderland knew the Cheshire Cat, there was another world. A darker one.In the gaslit shadows of Victorian England, where mourning has become an art and madness is never far from polite society, a strange creature begins to discover that the boundaries between life, death, memory and imagination are far thinner than anyone suspects.He can vanish.At first, only for a moment.Then he begins to wonder where he goes when the rest of him disappears.His search for answers leads him through haunted rooms, forgotten graveyards, impossible doorways and places where the dead do not always remain silent. Along the way, he encounters lost souls, dangerous curiosities and truths that seem to change whenever he looks directly at them.And somewhere beyond it all waits Wonderland, but this is not the Wonderland you remember.The Dark Adventures of the Cheshire Cat is a gothic fantasy of ghosts, madness, Victorian darkness and beautiful impossibilities, imagining the strange history of one of literature's most mysterious creatures and the events that may have shaped his infamous grin.For readers who like their fairy tales darker, their Wonderland stranger, and their cats just a little unsettling.
