You are walking across a field covered in acres and acres of lush green land. When out of nowhere, zombies, yes I said zombies, pop up from the ground like weeds! What do you do? It is definitely the season for zombies, and you best be ready.

First on the list of preparations, Seth Grahame-Smith has created a Jane Austen parody called, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The story is basically the same, except who is a zombie, and who isn’t? All the same romantic elements and beautiful scenes that we love, and a load of zombie action intermingled with it.

The Bennett sisters are not only known to be local beauties, but also deadly zombie killers. Darcy himself is renouned throughout the land as a fierce enemy to the undead. Netherfield Park is vacant because the occupants are the victims of a terrible zombie attack. These elements are clever little additions to lighten the mood of Pride and Prejudice.

Or course, I was initially excited by this idea, but found as I read the book, it was seriously lacking in literary merit. But anything containing zombies is already void of quality. Seth has a fun idea with some good moments, I found myself bored, even with zombies attacking. It wasn’t right because there are some places, like Pemberly, that zombies just don’t belong.

Seth Grahame-Smith obviously had just one intention with writing this. He wanted to take a classic tasteful novel and turn into a manfest. It would be like me writing a novel about James Bond, but instead of him being an international secret agent, he’s making potpourri. I admire your ambition and unique ideas, Seth, but Jane Austen is the novelist of the century for a reason. Read it for yourselves, but never let go of the original.

Zombies aren’t just bent on battering literature this season. Fluxx creators have added to their clever collection, Zombie Fluxx! Hidden in the deck are zombies you don’t want, and must destroy.

If, for example, you obtain the brain card and the baseball bat card, you just might be the winner! Watch out, though, because the goal of the game can change faster then your friends turn into zombies. One goal, for example requires you to have nine zombies and the baseball bat to form your own zombie baseball team! Regardless, every game is different and fun.

And in their newest edition, you received Larry the Zombie. I like to call Larry the Old Maid, because when you have him, you can’t win. He’s like the zombie that keeps popping up in the garden no matter how many times you bludger him down.
