Alice at R'lyeh is the story of what happens when Lewis Carroll's Alice finds herself in H P Lovecraft's nightmare corpse-city R'lyeh, just in time for dread Cthulhu to start stirring from his sleep...

"What a curious thing," said Alice
"One might easily lose one's balance,"
As she walked through the labyrinthine tangles
Of the sea-risen city's impossible angles

"One must call this place most non-Euclidean,"
Alice mused, in the mathematical idiom,
"I feel lost in black seas of infinity...
"I do hope I shan't be too late for tea!"

On its surface was carved — a Jabberwock?
"And who might answer if I were to knock?"
