First there was Pride & Prejudice and Zombies. Then Undead Oz with monsters. Now, there is a new release at Fictionwise re-writing Jane Austen's Emma with werewolves.

I only attempted to read one of these books, and found it pretty awful. All they did was add a few sentences here and there, which was stupid. It does seem like this has created a new genre though, and it could be fun to try such a project where you really do re-write the whole thing from scratch as opposed to just typing a little here and there into a Project Gutenberg file. So...what new mash-ups would be fun and interesting?

I think Wuthering Heights, with vampires, would be awesome. Heathcliff is totally a vampire, and he totally blood-sucked Catherine to death.
