â€œWe are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.â€ ,William Shakespeare,â€œIn his house at Râ€™lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.â€,Howard Phillips Lovecraft. ,In the same putrid vein as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Shakespeare v. Lovecraft slithers hideously onto the literary mash-up scene, whispering of cosmic horrors and eldritch tales whilst espousing sweet soliloquys and profoundly contemplating mankindâ€™s place in the universe. ,Prospero, driven dangerously insane by prolonged exposure to the dread Necronomicon, makes a terrible pact with the titanic alien beast known only as Cthulhu. Now only his enchantress daughter Miranda and a handful of historyâ€™s greatest heroes are all that stand between humanity and blasphemous eternal subjugation. ,Itâ€™s a bloodbath of Shakespearean proportions as Cthulhu and his eldritch companions come at our protagonists from all manner of strange geometric angles in a hideous and savage battle for supremacy. ,This horror-comedy novella of 36,000 words will seize you in its clammy grip and not release you until you have gone positively mad with delight! Witness all this and more: ,Histrionic Heroes vs. Tentacled Terrors!!! Endless Soliloquys vs. Unnatural Silences!!! ,Romeo vs. Mi-Go!!! Englandâ€™s Royal Beasts vs. A Shoggoth!!! ,The Author vs. Iambic Pentameter!!!
