Story
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:
“The face of the water, in time, became a wonderful book—a book that was a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“And now, dear little children, who may this story read,
To idle, silly, flattering words, I pray you ne’er give heed;
Unto an evil counselor close heart, and ear, and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale of the Spider and the Fly.”
—Mary Howitt (1799–1888)
“Cinderella and the prince
lived, they say, happily ever after,
like two dolls in a museum case
never bothered by diapers or dust,
never arguing over the timing of an egg,
never telling the same story twice....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
