The Masters Reimagined
Speculative Twists on the Classics
All ten stories now available in the Kindle Store
In The Masters Reimagined, ten authors unite to bring something new to the classic stories of literature we all know so well. Masters like James Joyce, Rudyard Kipling, Lewis Carroll, Herman Melville, Leo Tolstoy, and Shakespeare inspired the authors of the Alvarium Experiment in their quest to reinterpret, reinvent, and reshape the stories and characters through speculative twists and turns. This is the third project by the Alvarium Experiment, a consortium of accomplished and award-winning authors.
The stories and authors are:
“The Count of the Alician Apocalypse”
by Bria Burton. On a visit to Stonehenge, a handsome stranger offers Alice
