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 ...

Perhaps we could have Thomas Hardy's "Return of the Vampire"? or "The Werewolf of Casterbridge"?, although I really think the world truly needs "Jane Eyre battles the Zombie Apocalypse"...Zombie Bertha could escape from her attic and rampage across the countryside creating an undead army, which Jane must defeat before she can be reunited with poor, maimed (but mercifully un-turned) Rochester! Woot!
