Unbelievable "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"
Just heard on NPR's show "Wait wait...Don't Tell Me".
http://www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/ They have a section called "Bluff The Listener", where one story is true and the other 2 are made up. Today, one of the options was a book based on the original Pride & Prejudice, but with the added benefit of zombies. Come to find out, that was the actual story. I've looked it up, so here are a couple links to find the book. http://www.amazon.com/Pride-Prejudice-Zo...1594743347 or http://www.chroniclebooks.com/index/main...d-Zombies/ With this, let's start something. What classic book do you think would be most improved with Zombies? My example, let's say "Alice in Wonderland", which could be: "Alice Battles Zombies in Wonderland" or "Alice in Zombieland" or "Zombie Alice in Wonderland" |

RE: Unbelievable "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"
How about:
"An Undead Christmas Carol" by Charles Decayins (see what I did there). Miser Scrooge is visit by Jacob Marley's zombie and after bravely fighting him off, he 3 more zombies break their way in and after despatching the lot, Scrooge believes if he doesn't change his ways he will end up as a shambling corpse! "Macdeath" by Zombie Shakespeare ![[Image: index.gif]](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/zombie67/index.gif) "Is this a dagger I see before me...oh shit, no it's a zombie!" "The power of man, for none of woman born shall harm Macdeath but a zombie horde now that's another matter!" Actually a similar thing has happened for real in the past. The Val Lewton film "I walked with a zombie", is actually an adaptation of Jane Eyre..with voodoo and zombies (but not of the flesh-eating kind). |

RE: Unbelievable "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"
Douglas Adams' 'a Zombie hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy'
this would be rad. it would be a sci-fi/horror/comedy that would bring to mind this question: what is the answer to life the universe and everything? -to which one heroic zombie might reply .... '...braaiins...' cheers to the pineal gland rando |

RE: Unbelievable "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"
Animal Farm by George Orwell. Not a bad book, but think of how great Zombie Farm would be! Whenever you start getting bored with the subtle commentary on Communism and World War II, you get to read some scenes about zombie livestock assaulting their survivors! Just think of how interesting it would have been if Old Major came back as a zombie pig! It would have given the book a million exciting new places to go! Silly George Orwell. If only he had realized what a golden opportunity he had.

RE: Unbelievable "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"
I just got a copy for my birthday recently. I also saw a copy of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter I want too.
"From the shards of tattered dreams, I rose - unwilling... Tossed upon tides of pain that flowed and ebbed and left me searingly awake. And more revoltingly - alive..." |
