Welcome to Re:Telling, the anthology that answers these burning questions, and many, many more. This collection of fiction, poetry, and art features some of the independent publishing world’s favourite, most talented writers using recycled material: purloined plots, stolen settings, borrowed premises, and appropriated characters. It is subversion; it is homage. It is a ransacking of the treasure troves in our cultural basement, and nothing is off limits. The stories range from retellings of Shakespeare to Law & Order, from classical theatre to video games. Each piece is something picked up and dusted off, reworked and made new.
