Hamlet & Juliet

“A romp through the best of Shakespeare. Juliet, marked by death and haunted by Romeo’s ghost, finds her way to Elsinore. Clare Edge pulls the Bard’s most beloved characters across plays and genres into a richly imagined world of her own making that twists and turns and continually surprises. Thoroughly modern, inventive, and impossible to predict.”—Rachel Hochhauser, New York Times bestselling author of Lady Tremaine

“Hamlet & Juliet entangles two tragic souls, and sets them on a brand-new path of fate, mystery, and power, with a romance that will steal your heart… . A truly unique reimagining!”—Tessonja Odette, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lies that Summon the Night

“A dazzling collision of wit, heartbreak, and magic, Hamlet & Juliet reinvents two of Shakespeare’s most iconic tragedies with startling originality and emotional depth. Bold, lyrical, and unexpectedly tender, Edge’s adult debut feels both timeless and entirely new—a love letter to the Bard that stands triumphantly on its own… . For Shakespeare fans and newbies alike!”—Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Ingenious, swoony, and full of twists I absolutely did not see coming, Hamlet & Juliet weaves Shakespeare’s plays into a gloriously slow-burn romantic fantasy that made me cackle out loud at the joyful, brilliant havoc Clare Edge wreaks on the source material—and may have finally converted me into a Shakespeare fan. An utter delight.”—Bar Fridman-Tell, USA Today bestselling author of Honeysuckle

“But soft! What light through yonder ereader breaks? It is Hamlet & Juliet, and Clare Edge is the brilliant author who brought their deliciously entangled tale to light. This book scratched every single theatre girl itch I didn’t even know I had. It’s like Shakespearean fanfiction in all the best ways with a million little morsels of lore sprinkled throughout. For lovers of gothic settings, brooding princes, and haunted girls. Even if you aren’t a Billy Shakes fan, this book will make you a superfan of Clare Edge. Now to find myself a lovely black lipstick to cosplay Juliet.”—Melody Robinette, author of These Vile Hearts

Clare Edge is an author (and witch) who was raised in the Rocky Mountains and now makes her home in the Pacific Northwest with her spouse and their utterly perfect corgi, Carbs. She’s a huge theater nerd, recovering academic, and is rarely found without a tarot deck nearby. Her previously published works include the biting young adult thriller Natural Selection and the cozy middle grade fantasy Accidental Demons. Hamlet & Juliet is her first adult novel.
