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.
Seth Grahame-Smith gave an insight to zombie preparation by taking a twist on Jane Austen’s book, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The mystery of who is undead and who isn’t accompanies the basic story line. Don’t worry, the romantic story remains unblemished, except for the additional zombie action sequences.
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.
My initial response was very excited about this, but the more I read it, I unfortunately saw very little literary merit to it. Come to think of it, zombie movies don’t really have any value either. It’s fun and unique, but frankly it is a wee bit boring, even with zombies. There are some places that zombies just shouldn’t be, and Pemberly is one of them.
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.
It all about the card combinations for winning, like having the brain card with the baseball bat card. Careful, the goals change faster than your friends turn into zombies. While getting rid of all your zombies, the goal can change to make you want at least nine zombies and a baseball bat card to have the zombie baseball team. Since every game is different and fun, you’ll keep playing.
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.
Personally, I would start by buying zombie-free property in the first place. With all the zombie-free claims out there, it’s hard to be sure. You might say buying land online is just as scary, but you can trust Land for Sale Online. Try their link below for a glance at the zombie-free property of your dreams.
