WANT! - "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"

BenPanced · Feb 3, 2009

Coming April 15: The Classic Regency Romance - Now with Ultraviolet Zombie Mayhem!

“Come, Darcy,” said Mr. Bingley, “I hate to see you standing by yourself in this stupid manner. You had much better dance.”

“I certainly shall not. You know how I detest it.”

“I would not be as fastidious as you are for a kingdom! I never met with so many pleasant girls in my life as I have this evening; and several of them are uncommonly pretty.”

Before Mr. Darcy could respond, a chorus of screams filled the assembly hall, immediately joined by the shattering of window panes. Unmentionables scrambled in, their movements clumsy yet swift; their burial clothing in a range of untidiness.

Guests who had the misfortune of standing near the windows were seized and feasted on at once. Elizabeth watched Mrs. Long struggle to free herself as two female dreadfuls bit into her head, cracking her skull like a walnut, and sending a shower of dark blood spouting as high as the chandeliers.

Planning the menu for their reception will be a snap, though...

Storm Dream · Feb 4, 2009

I'm counting down the days.

Except the word "unmentionables" makes me think of underwear, so now I'm picturing murderous bras busting through the windows...

Pagey's_Girl · Feb 4, 2009

This entire thread needs a drink alert...oh well, keyboards dry.

Next up for him Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Seth Grahame-Smith's surprise hit from Quirk Books, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, may have been launched as something of a lark, but that hasn't stopped its author from landing a major deal. Grand Central Press editor Ben Greenberg has just inked a two-book deal with Grahame-Smith for a rumored $575,000; Grahame-Smith's first book for GCP, which currently has no pub date, will be Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

It does the opposite for me... makes me want to do something better.
