It was a killer year for horror fiction of the harder kind.

In the last decade of the 16th century, William Shakespeare could not dare write A Midsummer Night's (Wet) Dream unabridged. Due to the nature of his birth century, the Bard wrote in a poetic "Shakespearean Code", hinting at sexualities and paraphilia he fully intended to compose and expose his Elizabethan audience to. His intended "erotica for every fetish" morphed instead into a "humane and wise drama" by happenstance. But what if there was a multiversal reality where the Marquis de Sade deciphered the Shakespearean Code during his long stay at the lunatic asylum at Charenton?
