"The Green Eyed Monster" presents a beautifully crafted retelling of "Othello By Qittie deKay Let me just preface this by saying I loathed Shakespeare in high school. I loathed his writing with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. I blame having "Romeo and Juliet" forcefully shoved in my face every year between 9th and 11th grade before being rushed through "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Macbeth" over the course of a month in 12th grade. That being said...this anthology does the punk genre justice, and drags Shakespeare along into a realm of respectability I never expected."Mac" follows closely with the source material, even lifting quotes from the original text to strengthen the story in an odd blend of antiquity and punk. The twist at the end was well executed, and presented an interesting retelling of the play."The Green Eyed Monster" presents a beautifully crafted retelling of "Othello," putting Shakespeare's characters into a strange new world full of hover bikes and mercenaries. The world building was well-rounded and fit perfectly with the source material. Though I've seen "Othello" performed on stage and knew the outcome, I was genuinely sad when this punk envisioned retelling reached its unavoidable conclusion."Prospero's Island" puts a huge twist on Shakespeare's "The Tempest." Having never read anything Teslapunk, I was pleasantly surprised to see this play crafted into an amazing blend of fantasy and history. No spoilers--but the tech is boss."A Town Called Hero" was a fresh take on "Much Ado About Nothing," and left me with a very satisfied feeling. Beginning to end, the world building was tight and the characters fit so well into their new dieselpunk setting. Really a joy to read.And finally, "A Winter's Tale" based on the play of the same title. This was my favorite story in the book. Maybe I'm a sucker for spunky princesses and "performing" bears, or maybe the writing was just that good. Hard to say. Amazing mesh up of Shakespeare's characters in a steam/clockpunk setting, and a satisfying end to a great book.Definitely buy this whether you like Shakespeare or not.

Brune I truly did not know what to think, but I picked up a copy of this anthology given that it was put together by one of my Facebook groups. As a fan of Shakespeare and a fan of literary "punk" genres, I was predisposed to enjoy it, and I was not disappointed. There are some interesting takes on the Shakespeare plays, and the stories remain more or less true to source material - but with many strange and wonderful reimaginings.There's a dystopian cyberpunk MacBeth (and a cautionary tale about what looks like a blessing - reawakening your emotions and intellect - may be a curse in disguise) that keeps you guessing about what comes next, even if you are completely familiar with the play. Then, there's The Green-Eyed Monster that reimagines Othello and his gang as a swaggering, high-tech crew of deadly mercenaries. One of my favorites in the book. Then we're out to Prospero's island. The exiled noble has built a force of technologically enhanced nymphs to fight back the flesh-eating sycori - but their enhancements come with the price of forced allegiance, which may bite Prospero where he least expects. In A Town Called Hero, Betty (Beatrice), an intrepid reporter, falls in love with Squadron Captain Ben Pedro, a dashing young aviator who fights against the menace known as "The Fatherland."Although all of the stories are entertaining, and witty, and wonderful, my absolute top favorite was the last one, a steampunk re-telling of The Winter's Tale by Jeffrey Cook and Katherine Perkins. It is the perfect ending to this incredibly imaginative, fun, and impressive first anthology by a fledgling collective of punk writers. (And can I say how much I love the bear???) If you are a fan of Shakespeare, or of lit punk, or if you're not a fan and want to find out more about it, I suggest picking up a copy of this book.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A Fresh Look at Shakespeare By Mak Let me start by saying I am a fan of Shakespeare- all of Shakespeare: plays and poetry. And I was intrigued by the idea of taking some of those classics and giving them a ‘punk twist. I also enjoy a good steampunk or cyberpunk story now and again.There are five stories in the collection: Mac based on “Macbeth”, The Green-Eyed Monster based on “Othello”, Prospero’s Island inspired by “The Tempest,” “A Town Called Hero” inspired by Much Ado About Nothing, and “The Winter’s Tale” inspired by The Winter’s Tale.All are nicely done, and serve their inspirations well. The base story from Shakespeare is preserved in each one, and the ‘punk settings don’t get in the way of the telling. You don’t have to be intimately familiar with the original works to enjoy them, but a grasp of the basic storyline does help. There are many places to find synopses of the plays, including the Writerpunk website.The author’s know their source material, and work well within the various ‘punk genres. There are quotes from the original plays, but nothing overly daunting or extensive. These stories are written as stories, not the iambic pentameter of Shakespeare. Characters are true to their roots, but molded to fit in their new worlds. Settings are varied, depending on the genre.This is an enjoyable collection, and I recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed a Shakespeare play, and to the many fans of the various ‘punk genres.All proceeds from the sale of this book go to PAWS, an animal shelter in WA.
