Abraham Lincoln slays the zombies

Yes, in my celebration of Halloween I indulged in the writings of Seth Grahame Smith with both Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter, and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies( the graphic novel). They were both brilliant I was allured to Abraham Lincoln because Smith wrote in a style like David Mccullough which I love his books particularly 1776. Smith took the more traditional approach to vampires then what the Twilight series and Ann Rice have written of which I really liked it. It was funny with vampires and accurate with history of Abraham Lincoln. It is worth reading if you want a good laugh.

Pride and Prejudice in the graphic novel was a comical read and a new twist on an old classic, which I love dearly. I've watched all the verses of the movies from the 1930's black and white one, A&E, Kara Knightly starred in snooze fest, to Bride and Prejudice, and even the Mormon version cheesy film. I do love the idea of zombie slayers in merry old England. It's a fresh perspective on Jane Austen. I read the animated version so it was not painfully annoying.
