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:
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Yet if strict criticism should till frown on our method, let candor and good humor forgive what is done to the best of our judgment, for the sake of perspicuity in the story and the delight and entertainment of our candid reader.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“From the beginning, the placement of [Clarence] Thomas on the high court was seen as a political end justifying almost any means. The full story of his confirmation raises questions not only about who lied and why, but, more important, about what happens when politics becomes total war and the truth—and those who tell it—are merely unfortunate sacrifices on the way to winning.”
—Jane Mayer, U.S. journalist, and Jill Abramson b. 1954, U.S. journalist. Strange Justice, p. 8, Houghton Mifflin (1994)
