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 ...

BB, you did not just dedicate an entire entry to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. You did not.

I DID!

So you did. I didn't think you would.

Now that you have, maybe I'll brave this book. See if my brain melts or not.

but i've actually been thinking of getting the book since you tweeted about it! and now brammers has posted about it.

which means I HAVE TO READ IT. even if it is completely cracky [and not of the good variety]. i have a feeling i would like mr. darcy even if he was the living undead :/

Then go for it. Now there's no reason for us not to check it out because even Brammers has mentioned it. (I just have to wait until the book arrives... whenever that is.)
