THIS TOTALLY MEANS MARY CRAWFORD, ZOMBIE HUNTER, IS CANON, RIGHT?

OMG. How the heck did they get permission to do that??

Isn't Austen in the public domain now? And if so, I hope this starts a trend of adding zombies to ALL the classics.

lol, that would awesome. I just wish it had happened before I graduated from high school... Pride and Prejudice was one of the books we could choose to read for senior year. (I picked the other one, Wuthering Heights, because my library's P&P copy looked like it was going to turn to dust if I opened it. But if there was a zombies version I totally would've picked that. Though, WH is zombie-ish enough, what with the main character digging up his lover's corpse 19 years after she died to hold her again... little trivia, think about that if you ever hear the song "It's All Coming Back To Me Now," because that's what it was written about.)

OH. MY. GOD.

(I had to read WH every spring for THREE YEARS for various English classes, and my relationship with it quickly devolved from "train-wreck fascination" to "love-hate" to "wanting to bludgeon every character to death with the critical essays in the appendices that are longer than the book". ESPECIALLY Cathy I.)

In conclusion: WH needs a zombie musical version, a la "Evil Dead: The Musical!", so that they can sing that song.

OH MY GODS!

Mary Crawford, zombie hunter, is now totally canon. Totally.

Also, though this book neglects to mention it, Lizzie Bennet was toting a lightsaber as she busted out the zombie guts.

Clearly, the fact that she and Mr. Darcy are Jedi is supposed to be a surprise.
