"From comedy to tragedy to sonnet, from texts to storms to prom, this collection is a knockout. " --BuzzFeed. com"Thoughtfully curated, 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 "That Way Madness Lies is a must-read for theater kids ready to consider their favorite comedies and tragedies in a new way, as well as Shakespeare skeptics. " --Booklist "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"Queer and diverse, this Shakespeare anthology takes 15 of the Bard' s most iconic works and builds an eclectic collection that successfully subverts the original white heteronormative canon. Built-in curriculum potential and excellent representation mean school libraries in particular will find this anthology a worthy purchase. " --School Library Journal "Ranging from grim and gritty to starry-eyed and futuristic, these 15 stories retell the Bard' s works as they' ve rarely been presented before. A radical reimagining and avant-garde interpretation of Shakespeare. " --Kirkus Reviews "A stunning collection of laughs, heartbreak, and beauty . . . the authors and the source material shine in this book. " --PaperbackParis. com "That Way Madness Lies is 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 anthologies I' ve ever read. " --TheNerdDaily. comPraise for HIS HIDEOUS HEART "Adler' s anthology brims over with fierce delight and uncanny invention; the stories here vary in their effect nearly as much as Poe' s do. 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. " --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 inspired by a handful of his most well-known works. Diversity in race, gender identity, and sexuality is well-represented. Poe' s ghost happily haunts this fresh, delightfully dark collection. " --Kirkus Reviews, starred review"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.
