Hi all,
I am currently working on a personal reading project where I'm reading Shakespeare's plays and then reading books that are retellings or draw inspiration from the play. I am about to embark on reading Titus Andronicus and am struggling to find related books, so wanted to see if this community knew of any!
For more context on how broad the suggestions can be, for Macbeth I read:
- Jo Nesbo's retelling
- Something Wicked this Way Comes, Ray Bradbury (title comes from Macbeth, similar dark magic themed)
- Birnam Wood, Eleanor Catton (ditto title, similar themes of dangerous ambitions, power corrupting)
I also read the second Henriad and read a bunch of fiction and non-fiction books about those historical figures (particularly the women, including Joan of Arc, Margaret of Anjou, Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort, etc). I know Titus Andronicus is not based on real historical figures, but I'm open to non-fiction books about similar figures that may have served some inspiration!

The only derivative work I know inspired by *Titus Andronicus* is the play *Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus* by Taylor Mac.
