That Way Madness Lies is a fine short story collection. Its contributors run the gamut of popular YA authors. They all have a treasured Shakespeare play or poem that they reimagine. It's a neat project. I was neither disappointed nor wowed by the results. I would say the text message version of Romeo & Juliet was my favorite.
