Praise for HIS HIDEOUS HEART: IndieBound bestseller Junior Library Guild selection "A superb collection [that] brims over with fierce delight and uncanny invention; the stories here vary in their effect nearly as much as Poe' s do. And if you haven' t read Poe before, His Hideous Heart works equally well as an introduction, a tribute and a loving critique. " --TheNew York Times Book Review"Presenting 13 reinterpretations of Poe' s works alongside the originals, this enticing anthology offers an accessible, multifaceted reading experience for fans old and new. . . A refreshing assortment of diverse voices and contemporary themes ensures there' s something for everyone. " --Publishers Weekly, starred review"A genre-bending collection of 13 twists on Edgar Allan Poe' s works does Poe proud with this creepy and atmospheric set of stories. Diversity in race, gender identity, and sexuality is well-represented. Poe' s ghost happily haunts this fresh, delightfully dark collection. " --Kirkus Reviews, starred review (Best Book of the Year)"While we love Edgar Allan Poe? the original sadboi and Halloween' s unofficial literary mascot? we have to admit that his 150-year-old stories could use a 2019-worthy glow-up. The YA story collection His Hideous Heart takes that challenge and runs with it. Each of the anthology' s contributors revamp or totally reinvent 13 of Poe' s best-known stories and poems, imbuing most of them with a much-needed dose of feminism, LGBTQ representation, and racial diversity. " --HelloGiggles. comPraise for THAT WAY MADNESS LIES: "From comedy to tragedy to sonnet, from texts to storms to prom, this collection is a knockout. " --BuzzFeed"The stories stand capably on their own merits, but will be enriched by familiarity with--or better yet, reading alongside--Shakespeare' s original plays and sonnets. Budding writers may even be inspired to put their own spins on the Bard of Avon' s timeless tales. " --BookPage"Thoughtfully curated by Adler (His Hideous Heart), this sumptuous anthology reframes Shakespeare' s work, linking themes to contemporary concerns while bringing a critical eye to the originals' cultural assumptions. With its range of narrative styles and diverse protagonists, this collection offers much to savor. " --Publishers Weekly "A spectacular, spell-binding Shakespearean collection that you will fall deeply in love with . . . Each tale is a gem in the glittering crown of this anthology, which is one of the best I' ve ever read. " --TheNerdDaily. com
