Reviews
"This simultaneously whimsical, adventurous, and bone-chilling genre-spanning collection smartly riffs on the referenced source material to explore contemporary values." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "This anthology does not shy away from uniqueness, boldness, or diversity--elements embraced by each of these stellar writers in their own beautiful way." -- Booklist "The stories draw upon perennially intriguing themes, presenting tales in genres from fantasy and historical fiction to horror in a collection sure to please a broad range of readers. Timely and timeless." -- Kirkus Reviews "Some of the tales are as satisfyingly sharp as the first bite of a poisoned apple; others offer softness and hard-won optimism, reminding readers that just as fairy tales can lead to dangerous woods, they can also offer a path that leads home." -- The Bulletin Praise for HIS HIDEOUS HEART IndieBound bestseller Junior Library Guild selection "A superb collection [that] brims over with fierce delight and uncanny invention; the stories here vary in their effect nearly as much as Poe's do. And if you haven't read Poe before, His Hideous Heart works equally well as an introduction, a tribute and a loving critique." -- The New York Times Book Review "Presenting 13 reinterpretations of Poe's works alongside the originals, this enticing anthology offers an accessible, multifaceted reading experience for fans old and new...A refreshing assortment of diverse voices and contemporary themes ensures there's something for everyone." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "A genre-bending collection of 13 twists on Edgar Allan Poe's works does Poe proud with this creepy and atmospheric set of stories. Diversity in race, gender identity, and sexuality is well-represented. Poe's ghost happily haunts this fresh, delightfully dark collection." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review (Best Book of the Year) "While we love Edgar Allan Poe?the original sadboi and Halloween's unofficial literary mascot?we have to admit that his 150-year-old stories could use a 2019-worthy glow-up. The YA story collection His Hideous Heart takes that challenge and runs with it. Each of the anthology's contributors revamp or totally reinvent 13 of Poe's best-known stories and poems, imbuing most of them with a much-needed dose of feminism, LGBTQ representation, and racial diversity." -- HelloGiggles.com Praise for THAT WAY MADNESS LIES "From comedy to tragedy to sonnet, from texts to storms to prom, this collection is a knockout." -- BuzzFeed "The stories stand capably on their own merits, but will be enriched by familiarity with--or better yet, reading alongside--Shakespeare's original plays and sonnets. Budding writers may even be inspired to put their own spins on the Bard of Avon's timeless tales." -- BookPage "Thoughtfully curated by Adler, this sumptuous anthology reframes Shakespeare's work, linking themes to contemporary concerns while bringing a critical eye to the originals' cultural assumptions. With its range of narrative styles and diverse protagonists, this collection offers much to savor." -- Publishers Weekly, "This simultaneously whimsical, adventurous, and bone-chilling genre-spanning collection smartly riffs on the referenced source material to explore contemporary values." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "This anthology does not shy away from uniqueness, boldness, or diversity--elements embraced by each of these stellar writers in their own beautiful way." -- Booklist "The stories draw upon perennially intriguing themes, presenting tales in genres from fantasy and historical fiction to horror in a collection sure to please a broad range of readers.
