Book description
Headphones on. World dissolves.
Alice's rabbit hole isn't a hole. It's a sound. A thump in the chest.
Voice actor? Not whispering. Not shouting. Just there. Like a friend who knows the rules are nonsense.
"Curiouser and curiouser."
That's the sound of the story waking up.
Not the book. The sound.
The Mad Hatter's tea party.
Teacups clinking. Clocks melting.
Why is the croquet ground made of flamingos?
The voice actor doesn't explain. Just lets it be.
You lean in. You hear the sizzle of the flamingo mallets.
The Cheshire Cat's grin.
It doesn't appear. It unfolds in the audio.
A slow, lazy ripple.
You can't see it. But you feel it.
Like the grin of a dream you almost remember.
The Queen's roar.
Suddenly. No warning.
Beneath the "Off with her head!"
A tiny pause. A breath.
Then silence.
That silence? It's louder than the roar.
The White Rabbit.
Pocket watch ticking.
Tick. Tock. Tock.
Not just sound. It's the pressure of time.
You feel it in your own wrist.
Dodgson wrote it. Lewis Carroll. Not Carruth.
(Important. But not the point.)
The point is the sound of the point.
The nonsense isn't just words.
It's the space between words.
The hesitation before "Why is a raven like a writing-desk?"
That pause. That's the heart of it.
The voice actor holds it.
You hold your breath.
You're not reading. You're listening to the question.
To the absurdity of asking it.
The White Rabbit's panic.
It's not frantic. It's... polite.
"Late! Late! Late!"
But the voice is calm.
Like someone checking the time on a clock that doesn't exist.
The Caterpillar.
Sitting on the mushroom.
Smoke curls in the air.
Voice actor's tone: slow. Heavy.
"Who are you?"
Not a question. A statement.
You don't want to answer.
The story doesn't need you to.
It just is.
The Jabberwocky.
"Brillig" and "slithy."
Not words. Sounds.
The voice actor makes them real.
You don't understand. You don't need to.
It's the sound of not understanding.
That's the magic.
The audiobook isn't an adaptation.
It's the original sound of the story.
Held in your ears.
Not in your head.
The ending?
Alice wakes.
Or does she?
The voice fades.
Not with a sigh.
With a click.
Like the rabbit hole closing.
Silence.
Then you remember.
You're still here.
But something's different.
The world feels... slightly off.
Like it's made of rubber.
Or maybe you just heard the sound of nonsense.
And now you can't unhear it.
It's in your bones.
The Queen's roar.
The Cheshire Cat's grin.
The White Rabbit's ticking.
They're not in the book.
They're in the sound.
And they're still there.
When you take off the headphones.
