Book Review

Lost Girls (2006)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Writers: Melinda Gebble, Alan Moore; Genre: Fiction; Publisher: Top Shelf

Oz's Dorothy, Wonderland's Alice, and Peter Pan's Wendy meet at a pre-WWI hotel. And just what unfolds? Why, a sapphic orgy during which their stories are retold as sexual awakenings.

For Fans of...
Fractured Fairy Tales; Caligula.

Does It Deliver?
Gebbie classes up the visuals with a gauzy nouveau touch, as Moore oscillates between weighty themes (like carnal surrender as liberation) and bad porno dialogue.
