Elizabeth Bennet v. the Undead
Is it me, or does all the internet hubbub over Pride and prejudice and Zombies (a few of the many links: Galleycat, The Times, and The Guardian, ) reminiscent of Snakes on a Plane–something that people thought was hilarious in theory, but avoided in real life?

I think one of the differences is that people can pre-order the book, but can’t pre-order a movie. Perhaps by the time the book comes out some of the hype will have died down… but perhaps in the spirit of zombies, it will rise and walk amongst us once more!
I’ll be curious to leaf through it when it comes out, though I’m not sure I want to make this one a permanent addition to my collection!
