The Tourmaline Archipelago is a place of wonder and grotesquerie which exists on the other side of our dreams. In our sleep we sail its seas and walk the streets of its cities like phantoms. Sometimes we dream too deeply and become trapped, invading their world with our nightmares and fantasies, and then it is the job of Berylin Hooper, an agent in the Department for Counter Subornation, to hunt down and expel those trapped souls who threaten the very reality of her world and the safety of her people. Sometimes we bring them back with us when we wake. Lost, confused, and possessed of powers which leak through from their home, these exiles are pursued by the mysterious Hegemony which seeks to enslave them. When a woman appears who exists in both worlds simultaneously, she must run for her life from enemies who will tear apart the boundaries of existence and plunge each into chaos in order to possess her abilities. And in a doldrum region of the Archipelago floats Stray, an island-sized raft inhabited by lost dreamers from our world. Here Bobby Jenkins awakens, with no memory of his former existence and determined to find his way home. But how can he return when the woman he loves refuses to leave, and how can he protect her from both Hooper and the Hegemony?

An anthology of short stories based on the works of Shakespeare, but with a Lovecraftian twist. With contributions from the likes of James Lovegrove and Graham McNeill.

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. Imagine if Stratford’s favourite son had been the one to learn of the dangers of seeking after forbidden knowledge and of the war waged between the Elder Gods in the Outer Darkness, and had passed on that message, to those with eyes to see it, through his plays and poetry. 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 curséd tome, be warned – that way madness lies...
