Alice's Inferno is inspired by Alice in Wonderland and Dante's Inferno (Divina Comedia). Alice's Inferno tells the story of Alice, who was admitted in a psychiatric hospital as a teenager after having been accused of killing her parents, which she had no memory of. When she was 16 years old, her boyfriend died in a psychiatric hospital under similar circumstances. Everything pointed to her again and she still didn't remember anything. As a result, she travels to her own hell, which is her subconscious mind.

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks for the river.”
—Will Durant (1885–1981)
“Even a nine story pagoda must be built up level by level.”
—Chinese proverb.
“When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature. That intensity may be a matter of style, situation, character, emotional tone, or idea, or half a dozen other things. It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
