![]() ![]() ![]() The irresistible title is key to the success of “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.” The book itself keeps most of Austen’s story – girl meets boy, girl hates boy, girl is won over by boy’s good looks and large fortune – with added chunks of zombie violence by U.S. “As soon as I drew a line between ‘Pride and Prejudice’ and zombies, I knew I had a great title.” “Then I made a list of things that might enhance these novels – robots, ninjas, zombies,” Rekulak said. He made a list of classic books whose copyrights have lapsed and were ripe for pillage, from “Moby Dick” to “Great Expectations.” Quirk Books editorial director Jason Rekulak said he was inspired by the Internet-unleashed wave of “creative copyright infringement” – musical and video mash-ups that mangle styles and genres for comic or dramatic effect. “Why did I spend three years writing a critical book on Austen? Why didn’t I just think of that?” “In publishing terms, it’s brilliant,” said Claire Harman, a Columbia University professor and author of “Jane’s Fame: How Jane Austen Conquered the World.” Even Austen purists admit a grudging admiration for the “Zombies” concept. ![]()

I kept having to say to my mom 'it's not bad, but, I don't know.'
