I am sooo buying this when it comes out.As the blurb notes
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the original text of Jane Austen's beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action.
Soon to be released;
War and Peace and Werewolves,
Hamlet vs the Living Dead
and the all time classic
The Old Testament; Elvira smackdown!
There is no work of classic literature that couldn't be improved with the addition of zombies.
I'm pretty sure Desci will wet herself when she sees that book.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the theme could be reversed by adding some Victorian chick-lit to traditional horror stories:
Dracula courts Mr Darcy - Count Drakul tires of the usual bodice-heaving virgins that cross his path, till one day he falls in love with an uptight English gentleman who sweeps him off his feet.
Wuthering Frankenstein - Tempestuous Cathy falls in love with a surly anti-hero who hides a dark past - he was sewn together by a mad scientist and brought to life in a thunderstorm.
Jane Eyre - Vampire Slayer!
ReplyDeletethat is so cool
ReplyDeleteI hope they get their hands on Middlemarch
Crime and Punishment II
ReplyDeleteWhere the old woman returns wearing a hockey mask to slay Raskolnikov with a chainsaw.
Crime And Punishment III: Raskolnikov and Sonia, zombie lovers, are sent by Trotsky and Lenin to deal with the Tsar.

ReplyDeleteOf course, having thought over this some more, I realise that Ann Rice and Stephanie Meyer have been doing this for years, by turning vampires from blood-drinking creatures of the night, to misundertood teen-angst emos and existentially anguished pretty boys.
What's next - Haemovore High School Musical?
