By Kirk von der Heydt
Paperback

Wonderland has sent White Rabbits into our world to prey upon the innocent, and just as long there has been an Alice to protect against what others choose to ignore as nonsense.
Like most girls, seventeen-year-old Emily Anderson believes fairy-tales are only make-believe. That’s until the White Rabbits come after her. When her friend is taken instead, Emily accepts the help from the sometimes bizarre Alice. Things go from bad to worse, and she unknowingly winds up standing before the Queen of Hearts. To every generation, an Alice is born, will Emily be the next one?
“Kirk von der Heydt spins the tale of Alice in Wonderland on its head with this delightfully strange and twisted novel. Rabbit Slayer is a a killer YA novel!” – Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and Mars One

His name is Kirk von der Heydt and he’s put that imagination thing to work creating a fantastic novel that takes Alice in Wonderland and brings it into the 21st century and is about to make fools of all those teachers save the English teacher. A truly wonderful novel titled Rabbit Slayer. Whether you’re 14 or 94, pick up this book. It’s gonna change your entire definition of fantasy.

George and Vera Detzler live at the very edge of a dark forest that children are not allowed into. They live with their mother, who forces the children to cry every night, and with the help of a special machine, turns their tears into a special salt that she sells for drinking money. When Vera runs away with a strange boy from the forest, George learns that she may be part of a dangerous plot to bring magic back into the world. George finally finds her, and together the two must journey home – each step of the way more dangerous than the last. They must confront evil spirits, a monstrous wolf, and ultimately, the Salt Machine itself, if they want to survive.

Smeiding writes with a clear, discerning eye and much heart. You will be transported.” -David Oppegaard, author of The Ragged Mountains & The Suicide Collectors
