Following in the footsteps of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies...
Following the release/success of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the Usual Suspects over at Stinque started an open source "Zombie Bible". This project has been progressing nicely and, according to their recent post, stands as second in an onslaught of similar project. Upcoming works, per the post:- The Portrait of a Lady and Vampires (Henry James and Laurell K. Hamilton)
- Crime and Punishment and Werewolves (Feodor Dostoevsky and Stephen King)
- War and Peace and Alien and Predator (Leo Tolstoy and Jeff VanderMeer)
- Silas Marner vs. The Lizard Men (George Eliot and Paul Di Filippo)
- Three Men in a Boat and Sea Serpents (Jerome K. Jerome and Connie Willis)
- The Demons at the Heart of Darkness (Joseph Conrad and John Shirley)
- Moby Dick vs. Cthulhu (Herman Melville, H. P. Lovecraft, August Derleth and Brian Lumley)
- Portrait of the Artist as a Young Terminator (James Joyce and Aaron Allston)
I do think this is the first of many...we shall see which roll out first. I'm just annoyed I did not think of Moby Dick vs Cthulhu.

I'd lay odds on the Stephen King volume being a success, but by the time the rest come out, the fad will have passed.
Except the Zombie Bible, of course. That lives forever.
