A Wonderlandian Pastiche.

Matthias Haddler is the victim of an experiment in which is he is made to believe that he is the Mad Hatter alongside other "patients" in a false clockwork Wonderland. A young woman pretending to be a clockwork "Alice" appears out of nowhere to save them, but when she and Matthias fall into a real Wonderland, they begin to discover who tricked the scientists into their seemingly pointless scheme to begin with. While wading through the strange world, riddles and nonsense abound. Can they sift through which is which?

Part mystery, part sci-fi, part fantasy, and with a little romance, the twists and turns seem endless, especially once the self-proclaimed Pantheon begins to see that the world they created is crumbling all around them.

The Vampire of Tinkerfall (Elysium #3) by inkwellheart

Nothing goes better with tea and crumpets than corpses and monsters. ************ With hardly a moment's rest after the case of the experimental corpses, Trinket and Booker are met with a new mystery: a supposed vampire haunting the streets of Tinkerfall. While Booker's scientific mind refuses to buy into fairy tales, Trinket fears this creature could, in fact, be a ghost. A ghost from her tormented past. Determined to learn the identity of the bloodsucking nightwalker, Trinket throws herself into the path of danger and begins to stir up painful memories from both Elysium and her life before the asylum. As she comes closer to learning the truth, she wonders how much longer she can keep her employer in the dark about her unforgivable sins. Perhaps a man fascinated by vicious monsters might also be able to love one. Or maybe he'll condemn her back to the hell from whence she came. It's JANE EYRE meets FRANKENSTEIN in this YA mystery series with a steampunk flair. Sequel to THE EXPERIMENTAL MURDERS. Bonus short stories: NEVER KICK A PUP and THE INSPECTION. Warning: this story involves mental illness and has scenes depicting anxiety attacks and PTSD, as well as suicidal thoughts.

No Place Like Home by SerenityIsMyEscape

It's been six years since Alice has been to Underland. She has been busy traveling and advancing the trade of the world. She's forgotten everything about her Wonderland, even her dear friends who are still hoping for her return that's destined to never happen. Well, almost everything. She still experiences dreams of a man with the strangest orange hair and impossibly green eyes that are big and bright with madness. As Alice struggles with the death of her mother and the decision of whether or not to accept another's hand in marriage, she turns to the man in her dreams, who looks so familiar, yet was nothing more than a stranger. The only problem: the man never spoke, unless wild hand gestures counted as talking. But Alice never got an answer and as the strange man in her dreams visited less and less, she found herself feeling empty and longing for something she couldn't put her finger on. But one stormy day on the sea changes everything for Alice and she finds herself back in Underland with her memory in tact. Just as she begins to think everything is okay, Alice discovers a dark secret that threatens to ruin the only home she has ever known. This time, the Champion might have met her match.

❖ ''ZF 16 Ariomma to unknown vessel. Please identify yourself. Over.'' ❖ Farah and Kazem are twins working aboard the Ariomma, a trading airship that sails the edges of a flat world. Out here is a frontier far from civilization: a place known as the Tideless, where water lifts from the surface of the sea, and great creatures rise with it. Only some of them are known. This is not a sailing path known for its safety, but the crew of the Ariomma have rarely feared their work. That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest.
