"Love means never having to say JESUS CHRIST LOOK OUT!"
"Rawwwr!"
"Oh, God! It's got me! Shoot it, Oliver! Shoot in the head!"
that rocks. Anything with Zombies added in makes it 100 times more interesting.
Wuthering Skins
Catherine Earnshaw once a detective, now slays zombies! Mr. Lockwood reads Earnshaws last moments before Heathcliff broke in and killed her
I am really looking forward to this book. If they could get Colin Firth to play the zombie-slaying version of Mr. Darcy in the inevitable movie adaptation, even better. 
I told a professor, an Austen fan, about this a month or two back. Even if the book sucks, it'll be worth the purchase just as a thank-you for being able to watch the look of abject horror spreading across her face. 
Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

Have you read the Books of the Dead? I think you'd enjoy those.
It seems professors are divided in their response to this work.
"Occupied in observing Mr. Bingley's feeding on her sister, Elizabeth was far from suspecting that she was herself becoming an object of some interest in the eyes of his friend. Mr. Darcy had at first scarcely allowed her to look like anything other than a piece of meat; he had looked at her without admiration through vacant eyes at the ball; and when they next met, he looked at her only to say 'BRAAAAIIIIINNNS!!!'"
I read about this on AiCN a while back. I can't wait to read this, and to see the eventual film adaptation. Sounds hilarious.

This could be even better than my favorite adaptation of great English lit --- the Semaphore Version of Wuthering Heights from Monty Python's Flying Circus! [begins after some Gilliam animated insanity]

Want. Want now.
Then you'll love Image comics, THE WALKING DEAD. Trust me! it's not only a MASTERFUL zombie comic, it's a MASTERFUL comic PERIOD.
I have told myself that ''MORE'' then I would like to admit!
^Pride and Predator! HA-HA-And Sir Elton's Pride and Predator!
I think I've seen almost every version of Austen's story, this may bump to be my favourite.
That's PRICELESS!

Oh, and this series is not ''technically'' a zombie book, it is insane as HELL! Garth Enniss (of Preacher, The Boys fame) CROSSED. Trust me, unless you want a TOTAL-MIND-FRAG, For the love of GOD!, DON'T READ IT! I'm only at issue #1 (of a 9 issue series) and it IS THAT SICKKK! I shuld also mention that the series is COMPLEATLY SOLD OUT in my area!! and issue 4 is out next month!
Because its characters are all fictional, I don't feel the same total disgust and loathing towards this book as I do towards Abraham Lincon: Vampire Hunter, but I do view it as being similarly spectacularly juvenile and asinine, and am therefore quite pleased to note that David O. Russell (really, Three Kings director Russell? Really?) and Natalie Portman have left the film project. They apparently cite scheduling conflicts, but these are two people smart enough to know better than to sully their names with this, and maybe they've wised up to that.
I would accuse you of raising a zombie thread, but it was one already.
<snicker>
I've been semi-regularly wanting to pick this up and read it, along with Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters and Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.
The films of any/all of these sound fun (Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter sounds like something wonderfully Who-vian, somehow), and I'm perfectly willing to believe the scheduling conflicts.
Juvenile and asinine? Please...
