Greatest Thing Ever
Some flippin’ Genius (capital “G”) named Seth Grahame-Smith has had the greatest idea ever. Or ever-ish, anyway. He’s taken the classic novel Pride and Predjudice – fully in the public domain – and made it even better.
Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead.
That’ll liven up the old English class, eh? I was thinking of creating my own adaptation — Crime and Punish and Ninjas. Too obvious?
Really, there’s no end to the public domain goodness.

Must echo — I love this. Look for Moby Dick’s Super Extreme Snowboard Adventure With Hot Chicks soon.
