Alice Isn't Dead is a serial SurrealHorror[=/=]SurrealHumor podcast put up by [[Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale Night Vale Presents]]. It is produced by Disparition and written by Joseph Fink, and details the life of a long haul trucker looking for the titular Alice. Along the way she runs across a [[HumanoidAbomination disturbing individual]] who seems to be stalking her for some purpose or another.
Much like its sister show, Alice Isn't Dead toes the line between humor and horror, but settles more firmly on the horror side of things with its set-up and theming, to counter how Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale has gotten LighterAndSofter as it has gone on. As of right now there is not a connection between the two shows other than similar themes.
