To the survivors who still read this blog, I present to you the best literary work ever:
Its...Darcy of the Dead
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."
It's an opening line that might make Jane Austen turn in her grave - or rise from it with her arms out-stretched.
For writer Seth Grahame-Smith has taken Austen's Regency classic and turned it into Pride and Prejudice with Zombies.
The novel, which uses the the vast majority of Austen's original text, is being touted as the first mainstream literary "mash-up".
It's a bizarre mix of genres which sees Elizabeth Bennet as a kung-fu expert dedicated to wiping out the zombie menace in the quiet village of Meryton.
The publication of the book comes amid plans for a sci-fi horror film in which aliens wreak havoc on a Jane Austen-style period drama.
Elton John's film company, Rocket Pictures, is to start filming Pride and Predator in London later this year.
The interview with the writer can be found here:

I bet this owns any of the spin-offs any of you might have read.
Let's see what Ms Chan thinks of this.
Have a Happy Easter everybody! Have fun proving the existence of the Easter Bunny.
