Shakespeare vs. Cthulhu

Description

An anthology of short stories based on Shakespeare's works, and world, but with a dark Lovecraftian twist. Imagine if it had been William Shakespeare, England's greatest playwright, who had discovered the truth about the Great Old Ones and the cosmic entity we know as Cthulhu, rather than the American author H P Lovecraft. Imagine if Stratford's favourite son had been the one to learn of the dangers of seeking after forbidden knowledge and of the war waged between the Elder Gods in the Outer Darkness, and had passed on that message, to those with the eyes to see it, through his plays and poetry. Welcome to the world of Shakespearean Cthulhu! Shakespeare Vs Cthulhu is an anthology of short stories featuring tales that are a mash-up of the Cthulhu Mythos and Shakespeare's most popular plays - as well as the world in which he lived - written by some of the top genre authors in the business, including James Lovegrove, Graham McNeill, Jan Siegel, Adrian Tchaikovsky and Jonathan Green.
