Status Updates From Wonderland: An Anthology

18. Six Impossible Things by Mark Chadbourn - this was a story with a weird, unclear ending - ⭐⭐⭐

19. Revolution in Wonder by Jane Yolen - sure, Jane Yolen, whatever you say - ⭐⭐⭐

16. Eat Me, Drink Me by Alison Littlewood - this one was very dark - ⭐⭐⭐

17. How I Comes to Be the Treacle Queen by Cat Rambo - this was a fun little tale, quite improved by being narrated by Natalie Naudus - ⭐⭐⭐

15. Temp Work by Lilith Saintcrow - this one was highly confusing, I am not sure I completely understood everything, though I got the gist - sentences were weirdly formed and some made no sense. It's Alice in Wonderland x post-apocalyptic dystopian, plague/zombie world - ⭐⭐⭐

14. The White Queen's Dictum by James Lovegrove - I called the twist almost immediately. Though, I am not sure it has much, is anything to do with Wonderland. If it wasn't for the name, it would be completely unrelated, imo - ⭐⭐⭐

12. The Night Parade by Laura Mauro - Alice in Wonderland x Japanese mythology. My enjoyment of the story was improved by me imagining everything with Studio Ghibli animation. The end was somewhat disappointing imo. Also Natalie Naudus is great as always - ⭐⭐⭐

13. What Makes a Monster by L.L. McKinney - Alice in Wonderland x Jack the Ripper, it was quite cool - ⭐⭐⭐⭐

10. Vanished Summer Glory by Rio Youers - this one was just sad - ⭐⭐⭐

11. Black Kitty by Catriona Ward - my favorite of the collection so far! Aproprietly weird and wacky and properly connected and inspired by Alice in Wonderland and not just a story set in Wonderland. Now I want to check out more of Catriona Ward's work - ⭐⭐⭐⭐

7. The Hunting of the Jabberwock by Jonathan Green - this was fine - ⭐⭐⭐

8. About Time by George Mann - this one was kinda weird, like, kinda promoting passing down your own fears to one's younger siblings and I don't really see the point - ⭐⭐⭐

9. Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em by Angela Slatter - western revenge story x Alice in Wonderland, pretty good. Also, can't go wrong with Kate Reading as the narrator - ⭐⭐⭐

6. Good Dog, Alice! by Juliet Marillier - in this story, Marillier uses her enchanting writing style to create a tragic tale, which I think some people will find cathartic, but I only felt sad. Trigger warnings for SA on a _very_ young girl - ⭐⭐⭐

5. Dream Girl by Cavan Scott - this was a gory <spoiler>scifi</spoiler> story that I found to be meh - ⭐⭐⭐

idea, but I felt that the Wonderland connection was tacked on at the last minute - ⭐⭐⭐

4. The White Queen's Pawn by Genevieve Cogman - this was ok, but predictable - ⭐⭐⭐

3. There Were No Birds to Fly by M. R. Carey - this was quite scary imo. Interesting concept and the narrator was fantastic, with a really deep voice that enhanced the scary atmosphere (sadly, I don't know who the narrator is, but since there are only 2 male narrators in this full cast production, it's either Tim Campbell or Derek Perkins). It's an interesting
