Wonderland After Dark

"Wonderland After Dark" is a collection of dark, spicy fairytale retellings set against the gritty backdrop of a South Florida strip club, narrated by the club's head bouncer, Derek Ryder. The series explores themes of love, redemption, and danger as Derek, a former adult film star, tries to protect those he cares about in a world filled with crime and depravity. This volume brings together the first three novellas—"Bounce," "Blow," and "Ride"—along with an exclusive essay by the author about the series' creation and deeper meanings.
