Deliciously creepy, love the imagery. Makes me want to give Alice's Adventures another read :)

Your way with evocative language is so phenomenal, I was completely sucked in-- the imagery is wonderfully eerie through and through, and the sense of Ariadne's isolation everywhere, both in and out of dreams, makes the experience even more terrifyingly intense. Ahhh Alice lore. ♥ Thank you for this...!

Wow! Thank you so much for such a fantastic read! Like everyone else, i have to say the imagery was powerful and perfectly evocative; and Alice is also really the perfect story to pit against Inception. So, again Thanks for the read!

This is creepy and fucking fantastic.

First of all, the characters fit their Wonderland rolls so well. I was a little in awe of the characters you've chosen for them to fit into and how well they got rolled up into the dream. It was fascinating.

Secondly, your attention to detail is magnificent here. The dead girls were vivid and horrid and essential to the story being seriously fucking creepy and disgustingly intense. Your Wonderful is scarily perfect in its description and the house is even scarier. When she runs from him and she's in the hallway with all the girls talking--it was seriously gave me shivers and made me super uncomfortable. Really well done.

The scene where they are digging is my favorite. She's clearly so confused and the young officer is a perfect mask here. And you've chased these scenes with little hints of layered plot! The totem conversations and Eames and Mal and the fact that Ariadne doesn't trust Cobb all leaks into the story at perfect moments.

This was great. I loved it.

This is, hands down, the most terrifying and horrific fiction I have read. and it's amazing. All the details of Wonderland, and having it stretched out so that the Ariadne (& the readers) no longer know what's up and what's down... Thank you so much for writing this.
