Off With Their Heads

Everyone knows Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glassand What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll. To borrow a quote from the original, 'We're all mad' here describes Off With Their Heads so well that the quote is used on the book's cover.

This Korean-inspired retelling introduces us to Carousel (Caro) Rabbit and Iccadora (Icca) Alice Sickle, two witches who were once in love with each other. We follow the pair after they're sentenced to the grotesque and evil Wonderland woods for a crime they didn't commit, and along the way, we watch the two as they manage to break each other's hearts.

Zoe Hana Mikuta elevates her sapphic horror story with moments that will leave you wanting to cover your eyes (or ears), while peeking through to see what transpires next. Her prose, which reads like poetry, lends itself to creepiness as much as evil saints and things that lurk around each corner.
