Let’s Go Down The Rabbit Hole and return to Wonderland to discover a new version of Alice and her family in the Grimm Fairy Tales universe from Zenescope.
Taking inspiration from Lewis Carroll’s children’s book, Wonderland was the first Grimm Fairy Tales spin-off and one of the realms of this Multiverse, alongside Myst, Neverland, Oz and Earth. It’s a realm of wonder and imagination, full of gore and violence. Zenescope puts its own dark spin on it, following the adventures of the Liddle family — with Alice, Calie and Violet.
The following books take place in the Zenescope universe where you can also meet Dorothy Gale, Robyn Hood and Van Helsing, but the stories are, generally, independent (with a few connections with the Grimm Fairy Tales series with some events and a few storylines)

Thank you so much for doing this – it’s easy to get lost with the number of stories in the Wonderland canon.
Thank you!
Thank you for this list. It’s definitely helpful to refer to, considering that Zenescope hasn’t really published a reading order list for all of their different Wonderland series, while keeping all of these series linked in some fashion.
