Zoe Hana Mikuta's Off with Their Heads realizes the phrase "We're all mad here" in such memorably gruesome ways that Lewis Carroll and his Cheshire Cat would be astounded. In this mesmerizing YA fantasy horror reimagining of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland from the author of the Gearbreakers series, two brave and broken young witches fight monsters and each other. Mikuta infuses her lush, bloody, anarchic lovers-to-enemies vision of the classic children's novel with elements of Korean culture and visceral magic for a strikingly filmic reading experience.
White Queen Delcorta October Kkul made a game of pitting human criminals against Saints, magical heroes who have transformed into grotesque monsters that feed on human emotion.
