dear valentine,
i am a huge nerd. i love to read, watch, and dream sci fi / fantasy. but like nearly every woman in america, i also love jane austen, especially her classic pride and prejudice. so when i came across seth grahame-smith's "pride and prejudice and zombies" i nearly jizzed my pants. its like he wrote it just for me.
here's an excerpt to satisfy your zombie craving until you too can go out and pick up a copy:
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains. Never was this truth more plain than during the recent attacks at Netherfield Park, in which a household of eighteen was slaughtered and consumed by a horde of the living dead"
f__k yeah!!!! now thats how its done jane austen, charlotte bronte and louisa may alcott. hope you are taking notes.
big shout out to the evil genius who conceived this brilliant literary spawn from hell.

agreed. the dude is freee key!
Interesting take on a classic....sounds.....um, creepy? :-)
That definitely looks hilarious, but I'll stick to vampires.
i haven't made the final decision to get this book yet. i really really want it, but am the biggest scaredy cat ever (except for vampires, they totally don't scare me). i am so torn!
i am so totally jealous demos! this book looks effing awesome, you will definitely have to let me borrow it!!!
I've heard a lot of hype about this book, but it's SO not for me!
You did NOT say you jizzed in your pants! LOL!
yes. yes i did.
I've been wanting to pick this book up for ages! I think I will have to go do so now!
i have been wanting to read this book foe awhile but kept passing it on the shelf thinking "no, i am a true Austen fan, i can't!" but the more i walk past that shelf the more i want it!! i might have to give in and read :)
i love sci-fi, but never thought of combining my 2 loves.
