Twenty-six year old Alice is staying at the exclusive house by the woods of her friend Serena, as a favor while her pal is away. Alice looks forward to the luxurious lifestyle with the sunken tub, swimming pool and big screen TV. However, she also cautions herself never forget that danger lurks everywhere, even in deluxe quarters like Serena owns.
As if she jinxed her good fortune, a wrong number call enables her to notice a stranger dive naked into the pool. Alice expects the nude male to attack her like all men do, but this time she is prepared, as she holds a Civil War saber that she took off the wall waiting for his assault. When the opportunity arises she uses the blade to split open a man's head. Thus a night of mayhem and death begins with Alice's gory adventures in wonderland.
Though Alice is an intriguing protagonist, her story seems so outrageous that it goes beyond the realm of unbelievable, perhaps exceeding Munchausen. Still she is a fascinating protagonist, as she lives her motto of never again to be a victim; sort of like the Bride in Kill Bill. Fans who appreciate a somewhat deranged female swimming in a sea of blood will want to read Alice's adventures AFTER MIDNIGHT in a not so wonderland.
