SHAKESPEARES VAMPIRES

Romeo and Juliet did not really die in the traditional sense. The night they tried to commit suicide they were turned into vampires. This changed everything. And for the past 400 years, they’ve been at war with each other. Looks like their relationship went beyond “it’s complicated. ” And now, in modern day London, two sisters are at the center of a centuries long conflict that could reshape the underworld forever… Shakespeare’s Vampires is not your mommy’s vampire story! It’s a bold new literary take on vampirism, crossed with anime infused designs, a comic book soul and, of course, a mega inspiration from William Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet”.
