The book's haunting artwork is one of its most striking features. Akumu Ink®'s signature gothic style brings a grotesque beauty to Wonderland, with 38 pages overflowing with hand-drawn illustrations that transform beloved characters like the Cheshire Cat into eerie, unsettling figures. The visual tone amplifies the sinister narrative, turning every page into a nightmarish experience that perfectly complements the dark retelling.

Created by Aldora and Joey, founders of Akumu Ink®, the project took two years to complete. Starting in Los Angeles and finishing in the Netherlands in 2018, their deep connection to Alice in Wonderland dates back to 2011, when they first introduced Alice-inspired designs into their merchandise with references to the White Rabbit and the Mad Hatter. This book reflects their love for gothic storytelling and their vision to offer a truly twisted, mature version of Wonderland.

The book debuted at Japan Expo anime convention in Paris, France in 2019, where it was quickly embraced by fans of Akumu Ink® and lovers of dark fantasy. Its bold visuals and eerie storytelling have made it a hit with adults seeking a fresh, haunting take on the classic tale. Early reactions highlight its success as a unique, macabre interpretation of Wonderland that pushes the boundaries of traditional fairy tales.
