Today at work, I was pleased to find a large box of Quirk Books’ upcoming release, Pride & Prejudice & Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls, waiting for me at my desk. The book doesn’t come out til the end of March. Awesome.
My lovely blog, Geekadelphia, is hosting a Zombieland movie night at The Trocadero here in Philadelphia next Monday, and Quirk was kind enough to donate these books as giveaways / prizes. I’m keeping a copy for myself to review on the blog, of course.
I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a goal of mine to one day pitch a book to Quirk. I just need to think of that killer, uber-creative idea. I mean, I’m an English professor! This should be easy. Let’s see…
- Oedipus The Bling: A Hip Hop Greek Opera
- Spamlet: A Hamlet Adaptation in the Vein of Monty Python
- Beo-wolf: The Untold Story of Beowulf vs. The Wolfman
- Oliver’s Fist: Oliver Seeks Revenge on Those Who Wronged Him
- The Waist Band: T.S. Eliot’s Guide to Losing Weight & Staying in Shape
Quirk, if you’re interested in these, I have about a dozen more. Let’s talk. I will totally accept hugs, high fives, and a value meal from Wendy’s as my advance.
My debut novel comes out this Fall. You'll be able to download free audiobook podcasts 
Like the Beo-wolf idea. yep. he could have been the ur-wolfman
(or g-urrr-wolfman)
So Google Alerts just sent me an email about this blog, so I looked around and just noticed you have me under ‘Good People’ — thanks for that man, you’re awesome and I totally miss your ass!
Totally want to read the Oedepud. Also, work on something with the Oddysey. That could be a cool Quirk Book.
Got my copy today. Loving the Beo-Wolf idea, Textual Healing, and the whiskey road I noticed on your side bar. Very interesting indeed.
