I, Billy Shakespeare is a 1965 comedic book by William Peter Blatty.

Synopsis[]

William Shakespeare's ghost angrily denounces suggestions that he did not write the works attributed to him.

Reception[]

S. T. Joshi noted that the book "achieved little or no critical and commercial success".[1] Kirkus Reviews considered it "abject" and lacking in plot, and observed that despite some "amusing truth(s)", Blatty "had no gift for epithets or spleen".[2]
