From master anthologist Ellen Datlow comes an all-original of weird tales inspired by the strangeness of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Between the hallucinogenic, weird, imaginative wordplay and the brilliant mathematical puzzles and social satire, Alice has been enjoyed and savored by every generation since its publication. Datlow asked 18 of the most brilliant and acclaimed writers working today to dream up stories inspired by all the strange events and surreal characters found in Wonderland.

Angelique Clairvoux lives in St. Martinsville, Louisiana, free of the slavery in other parts of the South. Living together with her grandmother, she practices voodoo and makes her living telling fortunes and selling charms and remedies. When the slave catchers arrive, Angelique is captured and assaulted, but manages to escape to the wilds of the bayou with her meager belongings, only to be never heard from again. Soon after, several men in the area enter the bayou in search of Angelique's treasure...unaware of the danger for those who hold evil in their hearts against women.
