About the author

Alison Habens is best known for Dreamhouse, a 1990s cult novel based on Alice in Wonderland. The book has its own ‘coming of age’ alongside Lewis Carroll’s centenary this year; and there’ll be a giveaway of pristine first editions on Goodreads.
Alison has written pretty much every day since it was published, with two further novels, Lifestory and Family Outing available, and lots of short stories, articles, poems and plays to see on alisonhabens.com.
Her new novel is a quirky retelling of the St Veronica myth, The True Picture. See thetruepicture.co.uk.
Alison is a lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Portsmouth, and has a PhD on the subject of ‘divine inspiration’ in literature. She lives in an old church on the Isle of Wight and commutes to work by hovercraft.

Reviews

[Annie Cheadle · Rating 4 out of 5]

What not to get your brother for Christmas. Always distressing when a weird ass book is written phenomenally.
