SHAKESPEARE RETOLD- Nine iconic plays transformed by the best novelists of our time, with covers by Michael Craig-Martin. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is completely reimagined in this unforgettable zombie love story. 'R' is a zombie. He has no name, no memories, and no pulse, but he has dreams. Amongst the ruins of an abandoned city, R meets a girl. Her name is Julie and she is the opposite of everything he knows - warm and bright and very much alive, she is a blast of colour in a dreary grey landscape. For reasons he can't understand, R chooses to save Julie instead of eating her, and a tense yet strangely tender relationship begins. This has never happened before. It breaks the rules and defies logic, but R is no longer content with life in the grave. He wants to breathe again, he wants to live, and Julie wants to help him. But their grim, rotting world won't be changed without a fight... 'The zombie novel with a heart' Guardian SHAKESPEARE RETOLD- Time travel. Zombies. Power-hungry media moguls. This is Shakespeare as you've never seen him before- nine iconic plays transformed by the best novelists of our time, with covers by Michael Craig-Martin.
