Alice

Christina Henry

After ten years confined to an asylum, Alice remembers little beyond the scars left by a mysterious childhood ordeal and the voice of a dangerous but loyal murderer speaking through the wall beside her cell. When a fire gives them the chance to escape, Alice and Hatcher find themselves pursued by the monstrous Jabberwocky, forcing them into the treacherous Old City in search of the only weapon that can destroy it. There, they must navigate a brutal world ruled by magician crime lords, where violence, fear, and corrupted magic lurk around every corner. Christina Henry’s atmospheric, visceral reimagining of Wonderland explores trauma, survival, memory, and the fierce bonds forged between two unlikely outcasts.

Horseman

Christina Henry

Twenty years after Ichabod Crane’s terrifying encounter, the legend of the Headless Horseman still haunts Sleepy Hollow—but most residents dismiss it as an old story. Ben Van Brunt, a young girl navigating grief, identity, and a changing sense of self, is forced to confront the possibility that the Horseman is real when a series of unsettling events strikes close to home. Blending gothic horror with a poignant coming-of-age story, the novel explores family, love, loss, acceptance, and the stories communities use to make sense of fear. Dark, atmospheric, and emotionally resonant, it offers a fresh perspective on one of America’s most enduring legends.
