Back Shakespeare Adjacent today

New Jersey, June 2025 - What happens when you take Shakespeare's timeless tales and retell them through the lenses of sci-fi, noir, horror, and more? You get Shakespeare Adjacent-a bold new anthology of reimagined stories inspired by the Bard, now crowdfunding on Kickstarter.
Edited by Lou Tambone (The Fringe) and Ali McDowell, Shakespeare Adjacent brings together 13 talented authors who transform classic Shakespearean characters and plots into modern, genre-bending narratives. From dystopian Romeos to intergalactic Hamlets, these stories are clever, dramatic, and completely unexpected.
"This isn't your high school Shakespeare," says Tambone. "This is for people who love the Bard-but also love seeing his work turned inside out and sideways."
What Makes Shakespeare Adjacent Special:
• 13 inventive stories across genres like fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction, and horror
• An inclusive, international roster of emerging and veteran writers
• Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, The Sandman Universe, and modern literary mashups
The campaign offers digital and physical copies, contributor shout-outs, and exclusive backer rewards, including bundles of previous anthologies.
