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 ...

But is it any good? *pets bunnies*

So-so judging by the first three chapters, but I will be buying it to live with my Austens on my Classics shelves, so they can giggle at it (I am certain the books talk to each other while I sleep).
