Silliness Well, here's a book the serious types will never read

RickyMaveety · 03-30-2009, 09:08 PM

I'm not sure the "author" should be shot or applauded ...

Don't say I didn't warn you ....

Oh, and PS: I think from now on, no matter how serious the post, if I start it, then it's going to have a "silliness" tag in front of it. If anyone wants to complain, they can call my complaints department (and I have THEM ignore the bastard).

It's not available as an ebook?

Appears that you've uncovered the tip of the zombie genre iceberg.

This one's by Mel Brooks' son Max.

I saw this a while ago. I read the first chapter online, and I must say, it's pretty spectacular.

RickyMaveety · 03-30-2009, 09:55 PM

Oooo, and the one by Max Brooks is available for the Kindle. Although, I would like to read the Jane Austin does the Living Dead book.

Hmmm .... sounds like a really weird porn movie ....

lilac_jive · 03-30-2009, 09:57 PM

Oh and I think it'll be an ebook, it's just not out yet. If it's not then I'm gonna be mad.

I can't believe it! I made a joke on Twitter the other day about doing Jane Austen with Zombies, and a few days later there's a book about the very same topic! They must have infiltrated my Twitter, then gone back in time and wrote that book... it's the only possible explanation

Maybe it was subliminal :P I saw promos for this book about a month ago or more.

Wow, I didn't realize that... I knew of the book but didn't realize that he was related to Mel... Now I'm going to have images of all of Mel Brooks' films zombified running through my head...

Copyright theft! Sue them!

That's it, I'm hiring Harlan "I'll sue anyone, anytime, anywhere, for any reason" Ellison to sue the remains of Jane Austen. Well, if she hadn't written the book in the first place then I would never have had the idea to steal.
