Into The Abyss Reviews ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "These stories were full of strife, murder and scheming - but they were written with such beauty! I highlighted so many quotes that stood out to me because of their impact, beauty and/or meaning. To be quite honest, I think what appealed to me so much with this anthology is because it's written in modern day speech (though some had a bit of old English in there) and my brain can read and comprehend that so much better than trying to decipher Shakespeare's plays."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "Jam-packed with mindbending, eye-opening, heartwrenching, "what did I just READ?" prose and poetry, today's Dark Fiction lights pay tribute to the playwright who, though not the original purveyor of Horror, nevertheless mined the Dark Side in his own unforgettable plays and sonnets, so much a foundation of modern life and literature that we often don't recognize Shakespeare as the source. Enjoy these new takes on Shakespeare, as he might be today."
