Pride and Prejudice and Zombies -- Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the original text of Jane Austen's beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy.

I guess song mash-ups just weren't good enough for some people. Literature mash-ups are the wave of the future. Quick! someone write me a mash-up of "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas" with any Dr Suess book.

I've heard rumors that some big company is interested in taking the thing to the big screen! That would be really awesome.

I've been rocking beatnik zombie clothes while waiting for this trend to start. It aint Emo it's Zomemo.

Don't forget about Pride and Predator, which was just optioned into a movie.

Best part:
"It felt like a fresh and funny way to blow apart the done-to-death Jane Austen genre by literally dropping this alien into the middle of a costume drama, where he stalks and slashes to horrific effect," Furnish said.

Truly the best ideas evar.

Grand Central Publishing signed Mr. Grahame-Smith to a two-book deal, starting with “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” which imagines the 16th president dedicating himself to the great task of ensuring that the undead shall perish from the earth.

That is probably the best idea I have ever heard in my entire life.
Wow.

We could have a blast doing mash-ups of classic history/literature and internet memes. We could do "Caligula and the Party of Lemons".


No, wait. That would just be "Caligula".
