Shakespeare Vs Cthulhu An anthologie of fine stories inspir'd by the Bard of Stratford and the Lovecraftian Mythos 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 horror writer H P Lovecraft.

Welcome to the world of Shakespearean Cthulhu! To mark the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, Snowbooks proudly presents fifteen stories of eldritch horror that blend the Bard's most famous plays with Lovecraft's most terrifying creations. But before you dip into this cursed tome, be warned - that way madness lies...

Covering the whole range of speculative fiction genres, from horror and Steampunk, through to SF and WTF, these are stories with bite! Come on in. The water's fine...

Join vengeance-seeking ghouls in Dylath-Leen; an expedition to the cursed ruins of an ancient city; a mercenary company with only one criterion for recruits: they must already be dead. This anthology recalls the pulp fantasy stories of the early- to mid-twentieth century: from pulse-pounding sword & sorcery adventure to chilling tales of the macabre, eldritch horrors, ruthless warriors, and fabulous treasures await within

A courtesan turned assassin, a rogue weary of being a virtual slave to his guild, a crippled warrior, a farm boy anxious to make a name for himself, and an animated corpse reluctantly returned from the dead are a few of the denizens of the City of Bathos whose stories unfold in Escape from Devil's Head.

Each has their own agenda, and when their paths cross, cries of betrayal and the clash of sword blades ring through the dim, twisting alleys.
