To read or not to read? That's not even a question.
Shakespeare Adjacent takes thirteen classic works from The Bard and gives them a wild new twist. These aren't your high school English class retellings-these are shipwrecks in space, soliloquies in telemarketing, and gangsters with grudges.
From fantasy to sci-fi, noir to surreal, this anthology brings together a talented crew of writers who aren't afraid to ask, "What if Shakespeare got weird?" (Spoiler: He kind of already did.) Whether you're a Shakespeare superfan or just Bard-curious, you'll find something unexpected, clever, and completely adjacent inside these pages.
Edited by Lou Tambone and Ali McDowell, and brought to life by a diverse cast of visionary writers,
Shakespeare Adjacent is a tribute to the endless possibilities of story-and the enduring mischief of The Bard.
