Jane Austen Just Can't Be Killed By Conventional Weapons
It was bad enough the speculative alternative perspective (eg see here) and sequel novels about Darcy and Elizabeth (eg see here), the Bridget Jones saga (and other pretenders to it), the trashy Harlequin romance meets Hustler type send ups, the the interactive approach, self-help and advice, "Lost in Austen", etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
.....AND NOW ZOMBIES?!?!?!
Will I ever be rid of this woman? Can't you cruel people behind this understand that you are feeding an addiction more powerful than that of heroin, and one that afflicts millions of thirty-something women besides my wife??

Oy very distressing. I will point out, however, that this country is woefully unprepared for the coming zombie invasion. If this educates these crazy women enough to prepare for it, then it's not all for naught....
