A New Classic Lit / Horror Mashup: Little Women and Werewolves

If you’re at all interested in books, you’ve probably heard of the recent classic literature / horror novel mashups Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. These silly (but generally well-received) conglomerations of classic prose and monsterific additions have been sufficiently popular that Del Ray’s doing it again, this time with werewolves. GalleyCat has announced that Little Women, the story of the March sisters, will be retold as “Little Women and Werewolves”. No word on a publication date yet, but here’s a description from the publisher to keep you interested:

In this retelling of Louisa May Alcott’s classic, the beloved little women must keep not just the wolf, but the werewolves, from the door…and the kindly old gentlemen next door and his grandson may have some secrets to hide–or share with the March girls.

    Interestingly enough “The Werewolf’s Guide To Life” reveals that Louisa May Alcott was a werewolf. Perhaps we’re finally getting the uncensored version of the book.

    I have P&P&Z but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet.

    P&P&Z was good, though it kind of drug (past tense of drag is…?) on for a while when zombies weren’t in the pages.
    but it made the book twenty times better.
    if only they made a low-budget movie out of it, i do not think it would be disappointing.
