If you could call me a writer, this would be my Author’s Note.

Hey, everybody! How are we today? I’s the b’y (girl, actually, though some would care to argue) who sunk the ship, so you might’ve guessed I’m kind of new…

The almighty They only give us humble writers 250 words in a summary and since I’m generally bad with skimpy reviews, I thought I’d sharpen mine a bit with a better one here.

If you don’t like reviews, that’s fine. Skip ahead to prelude 1; they need some company down there.

Out, out, brief candle! It was supposed to end there, but it seems the entire bunch of Will’s little buddies really aren’t that lucky. Apples is a select few of Shakespeare's tragedies rolled up into a jumbled, cannibal-hopping, faerie-killing, vampire-negotiating jumble of revenge, lust and night-dwelling beasties.

It doesn’t end with death.

A mortal sin, a murder (actually, a fair amount of), death at the hands of your mortal enemy, cold, restless rivers that rush up from the bottom of cliffs to claim you and tangle your hair.

Did you ever notice that every single Shakespearian play ends up in either death or marriage? Well, it certainly gives me more material to work with, considering the amount of corruption you can be subjected to after you die.

As in the front review, I’m trying to take a bunch of tragedies (you notice that they’re the main four you do in high school…in my school board, at least…) at figure out what comes after.

Hamlet, our favourite angsty little Danish prince, is our frontliner for the main event, but I won’t spoil it too much here. Basically, Hammy gets thrown into a morass of difficult plot corners once more, but digresses from the whole play-within-a-play ploy, instead trying to run away form his problems. He’s joined by Romeo and Juliet, Desdemona and Macbeth to try to wring out said situations, and let’s see how they do there, hmm?
