My two book orders of the day are Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and Everything's Coming Up Sock Monkeys!

There may be something wrong with me.

Where the hell do you even FIND books like that!?

I'm hoping it will help me better appreciate Austen.

P&P&Z has been memed all over teh Intarwebs, while Sock Monkeys! comes up when you ask Mr Amazon's search engine about, y'know, sock...monkeys. Yes.

I think that first one is my new favorite based on title alone.

I somehow missed P&P&Z, but it's got like the best author notes ever in the world:

JANE AUSTEN is the author of Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and other masterpieces of English literature.
SETH GRAHAME-SMITH is the author of How to Survive a Horror Movie and The Big Book of Porn.

Didn't the second-named author of the first-named book pinch that idea off Maureen Johnson a couple of years ago?

[annlarimer]

I have no way of knowing.

[darthfi]

Great idea, but I came across it a while back, where Johnson not only produced a P&P scene with zombies (see here) but ran a competition for the best zombie insert.

Sadly I didn't win. I knew I should have done Cold Comfort Farm instead.

I would like to see Jane Eyre and Mrs Rochester team up to fight zombies. Mrs R would be badass.

There may be something wrong with me.

Or there may be something very, very right.

I have spent weeks trying to solve the problem of how to give a Dannymonkey proper manboobs. D:
