Alice through the Garbage Grinder — Print Edition

Alice has survived the most horrendous kitchen accident imaginable. Unfortunately, surviving it was only the beginning.

After an encounter with a garbage grinder, Alice finds herself chopped into pieces and cast into a horrific underworld.

She manages to pull herself back together, though she suspects that some pieces may still be missing.

To recover what remains of herself, Alice must travel deeper through a world of:

• Trash.

• Slime.

• Sewage.

• Detritus.

• Strange yet familiar people.

• Creatures that understand the ordinary world very differently from Alice.

A Grotesque New Journey

Alice’s surroundings are filthy, nightmarish and absurd.

In one published chapter, she encounters Edward: a small, many-eyed inhabitant of the underworld who mistakes her for a vegetable. To him and his companions, the scraps falling through the kitchen plughole are the mutilated remains of their own kind.

Alice’s ordinary life above becomes a place of incomprehensible horror when viewed from below.

Her journey forces her to question not only the world around her, but her own reality. After so many impossible adventures, she can no longer be certain which experiences were real—or whether she herself is real at all.

Stronger and Stranger

Alice begins the story torn apart.

As she searches through the waste for her missing pieces, she must also try to understand what has happened to her and what sort of person will emerge from the underworld.

The published synopsis promises that she will emerge both stronger and stranger than she was before.

A Surreal Fantasy Story

Alice through the Garbage Grinder is a work of fiction rather than a roleplaying game.

It offers a short, surreal fantasy journey built around grotesque imagery, dark humour, questions of identity and a heroine trying—quite literally—to put herself back together.

Enter the underworld.

Search through the refuse.

Recover the missing pieces.
