ZOMBIE ISLAND

Available May 22, 2012

Fresh from a triumphant battle over the zombie horde that invaded London, vampire William Shakespeare concocts a plot to rid the love of his life from the encumbrance of her husband. Will plans to give his "dark lady," Katherine Dymond, a potion that will make her sleep the sleep of the dead. Once she is entombed, Will can sneak in, wait for her to awaken, then spirit her away. After her husband returns to his plantation in America, Kate can return to London under a different name and assume a new identity. No one will believe that the dead Katherine and the live Kate are the same woman.

Of course, as is often the case with true love, all does not go as smoothly as planned. When the two of them are shipwrecked on an island ruled by a wizard and a nymph, as well as infested by zombies, Will and Kate must stop an even larger plot afoot: a plot that leads all the way to the royal palaces of Queen Elizabeth.

SHAKESPEARE UNDEAD

St. Martin's Griffin
ISBN 978-8-312-64152-8

Something wicked this way comes . . . and it keeps coming and coming and coming. . .

William Shakespeare was one of history's greatest writers, a master of words with a body of work that is truly impressive . . . some may say a little too impressive for a single man to accomplish in one lifetime. Perhaps, as many have speculated, he had assistance. Or perhaps the explanation is more . . . unusual.

Who was William Shakespeare?

Who was the Dark Lady of the Sonnets?

Why are the undead stalking the alleyways of London?

And can they be stopped?

Something is definitely rotten in the state of Denmark.

So brace yourself for a wild ride through twisted streets and shadowed graveyards of Elizabethan London, where you'll discover how the Bard got his Bite.

Shakespeare Undead has been nominated as one of the top novels of 2010 by Suspense Magazine.

Reviews

". . . lively, funny and agreeably gory . . ." ~ Fright.com

" . . . laugh out loud moments! . . . the book is shameless fun, with a decent grounding in the Bard's work." ~ Kirkus Reviews

"The legend of Shakespeare will never be the same. It's a fun read set against the streets of Elizabethan London." ~ Romantic Times-4 Stars

"Handeland blends Elizabethan and contemporary language skillfully . . . the romance sizzles between the intriguing leads." ~ Publishers Weekly

"Lori Handeland's book Shakespeare Undead is one of the funniest, action-packed, romantic vampire thrillers I have ever read. This book is certain to join the ranks of great paranormal fiction such as Twilight and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Move over Edward and Jacob, nothing's sexier than a vampire who knows how to handle a pen." ~ Night Owl Reviews-Reviewer Top Pick
