My brain has melted

Which is good only from the perspective that it renders it unattractive to the tastebuds of the ravening undead.

Why are you blathering on about Zombies, Brammers? you may ask. Ah ha! I say, You are clearly unaware that this month marks the publication of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which is a real and actual book.

Having perused the opening chapters (the first three can be downloaded here), I am kicking myself a little, since I have clearly missed an obvious career move. Doing mash-ups of the classics seems so obvious now I think of it. Alas, I did not think of it first. And it is a genuine alas here, since the writer who did think of it is simply not as funny as I would have been.

However, I am not too proud to jump on a comedy-rich bandwagon. Hence, I have decided to devote myself to some new writing: Emma the Vampire Slayer, Mansfield Werewolf Park, Northanger Abbey of the Damned, and, my masterwork, Sense and Insensibility, in which Marianne Dashwood is raised from the dead by her mad scientist sister. 

I may be some time ...

Hahahaha...'Girls! Pentagram of Death!' You have definitely missed an obvious career move - it's not too late to jump on the bandwagon, though. I think you should definitely write Sense and Insensibility. Or perhaps start with a different author - Middlemarch: Rise of the Vampires, perhaps? The possibilities are endless...

Mill on the Froth (of blood and entrails)

It's not the first time I have missed the boat. I was famous at university for my 90-second renditions of Shakespearean Histories and Tragedies, complete with mimes and hand puppets.

Complete with mimes and hand puppets? Now that I would pay good money to see! I once wrote a crack version of Macbeth in 6th form which had us all in fits, but reading it now - not so entertaining! Oh to be young again...
