Review 154: Marlowe’s Ghost by Daryl Pinksen

By Shannon Yarbrough on July 1, 2010

Marlowe’s Ghost: The Blacklisting of the Man who was Shakespeare
by Daryl Pinksen
Copyright © 2008
IUniverse
ISBN: 0595475140
284 Pages
Paperback $20.95

"This is a book authors considering self-publishing should buy as a reference if they want to study technique and layout of the book itself. Pinksen is very deserving of his Writer’s Digest award. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, learned a lot from it, and will definitely be sharing it with others. And as for Marlowe, all preconceived notions I had of Shakespeare, before reading this book, have just been thrown out the window."
