Feed Your Head
...remember what the dormouse said?
This is some weeeeird trippy shiiiit, man. Lewis Carroll`s original story of Alice`s Adventures in Wonderland has some psychedelic connections, and I think Raven Gregory has tried to hit on them in this tale of Wonderland.
There is something very odd going on with the Liddle family...
Mum, Alice, sits on the sofa with a thousand yard stare stroking a white rabbit. She`s `zoned out` explains troublesome teenager, Calie as she smuggles a boyfriend upstairs to her bedroom. Meanwhile, Dad is `working late` - infact he`s bent over a desk being spanked by a dominatrix somewhere in town, and young brother, Johnny is in his room downloading atrocities on the `net...
Now, Calie is tripping in the park with her boyfriend, having taken some hallucinogen - they bend and float through the aiiiiir....now, Calie wakes from a deranged nightmare - her little brother, dressed as some macabre Mad Hatter has chopped Mum and Dad to bits, blood running everywhereeeee...
Whoa!!! Slow down!! I havn`t felt this out of it since that summer I left college...(phew!)
But, it is a dream. However, what is real (or is it?) is that Mum has lost her white rabbit. Calie struggling to catch it down the cellar steps, suddenly finds herself spiraling down and dowwwwn...to land in a room full of doors. A voice tells her she is in Wonderland and has a choice of pills to take....
...oh, man.
I`ve been meaning to read this for ages. The luscious and sexy cover artwork drew me to this series, and the artwork is very good. The story, however is not going to appeal to everyone - it`s strange. Drifting between psychedelic trips and dreams leaves the reader somewhat baffled. But then, that`s the idea ain`t it? All I can say is: read the `blurb` on the back of this issue, or the plot summery here, first - it`ll put you a bit more in the picture...
Return to Wonderland is a surreal and dark fairy-tale, prepare to be weirded out...
