Well, PPZ is okay, though I was a bit dissatisfied with some aspects of it. I realise that the work was meant to be a pastiche, but it really just felt like the occasional detail was tweaked to fit in with the apocalyptic atmosphere of the story -- undead encroaching on London? There goes the social season! -- without dwelling on any impact beyond the superficial that the risen dead would surely have on society. Oh, and let's toss in a couple of ninjas while we're at it, because ninjas are cool. Still, it's an amusing enough story.
From the little I've read of 'Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter' (by the same author), my impression is that it's better written than PPZ. There's also a prequel to PPZ by a different author, Dawn of the Dreadfuls, that apparently helps to fill in the gaps of the story, but I haven't read it yet.
