Insanity is a modern take on the Alice in Wonderland story and though it is unbelievably odd it’s also a fascinating read.
Alice here is a patient in an asylum. She has no recollection of Wonderland, and it takes some intervention from Cater Pillar to have her wandering the streets looking for clues about missing girls and the serial killer Cheshire Cat. Make no comment…it’s odd.
We journey through a series of riddles as Alice tries to help the Cheshire’s victims, and we’re never wholly sure what’s happening and what’s in Alice’s head. Even at the end there are so many unanswered questions. It should have been infuriating but it’s quirkiness lent it an air of unexpected attractiveness.
