Plot Description: John Heimbuch’s "William Shakespeare’s Land of the Dead: The True and Accurate Account of the 1599 Zombie Plague", combines history and horror in a theatrical masterpiece complete with wayward clowns, quarreling advisers, bite after bite of monster adventure, and scholarly nods to Shakespearean tragedies.
