Shakespeare Unleashed has an amazing lineup. Just to name a few: Jonathan Maberry, Gemma Files, and Tim Waggoner. Altogether, there are 42 short stories and poems in this collection. Throughout the book there is also some amazing artwork by J.K. Woodward.
For most of the book, after every short story, is a poem. All of them relate to some William Shakespeare story. They range from Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, and many well known characters in Shakespeare’s stories. Some of the stories extend a character's story outside of their Shakespeare story, and some are odes to them. One of the authors, Ian Doescher, wrote his story as a play!
You can definitely tell the amount of passion that went into this collection. Each author writes with the knowledge of Shakespeare’s writing. Even if you are not a Shakespeare fan or have not read any of his other uncommon plays, you will still enjoy the many stories of this anthology. They each are a unique story.
Thank you James, for sending me a copy of Shakespeare Unleashed. I enjoyed all the time I spent with each author. Bravo for a fantastic anthology!
