Oz and Wonderland returns in this chilling horror supernatural novel. Set in the 1920s, intrepid reporter Nelly Bly fakes insanity to gain admission into the infamous Bedlam Asylum. While researching her expose, Nellie meets a young patient, Dorothy, who has delusions of a fantasy land she calls "Oz." Digging deeper into the dark history of the asylum, Nellie uncovers evidence of human experimentation on another inmate, a young girl named Alice, who's "Wonderland" mirrored Dorothy's imaginary world. Nellie is determined not to let Dorothy share Alice's fate as a human guinea pig. But the horrific experiments opens a portal to these other worlds. And when the dark and twisted inhabitants of Oz and Wonderland clash for control, Nellie realizes that they aren't delusions at all - they are terrifyingly real.

About the Author: Christine Converse has been a freelance writer since 1994. Publishing credits include dozens of magazine, video game strategy guides (Resident Evil, Blade Runner) and books. Raised in Northern California, she headed off to college fully intending to pursue a career in law. In 1992, her career path was forever altered from law to video game production and writing when given the opportunity to author a 300 page strategy guide for a hit PC game. For the next several years, she wrote magazine articles for top gaming magazines and published multiple guide books for games about very popular plumbers, zombie apocalypses, vampires with swords, aliens, replicants, jedi and more. Christine has been a fan of horror since her first viewing of Alien (and Ash's milky beheading) at the tender age of 4. She owes thanks to her mother for forever warping her into the person she is today. Therefore, she jumped at the chance to flesh out master horror director Pearry Teo's incredible visions of Oz and Wonderland's macabre collision. Today, Christine and her husband fully intend to warp their children in the same fashion and carry on their proud horror tradition.
