    All I know is, there's probably sharks in the first chapter...

    ...for this genre to jump over. :P

    @mst3k4ever: As long as it doesn't jump the shark before my own Troilus and Cressida and Crab People" comes out, it's okay. Plus,it's such a great way to be a writer without actually doing much writing.

    As a writing exercise this is kind of interesting.

    As fiction I might actually want to ready though, not so much.

    So okay, P&P&Z sold disgustingly well. There's always the hardcore Janeites and zombie fans, they were a given. Lots of casual readers bought it just for the novelty. Does anyone think sea monsters are a big enough draw to ensure the same success for this thing?

    @OW-Holmes--Upset with Polling: The two styles clash too much. Tentacle face on the cover will probably attract Mythos devotees.
    My queasiness is abetted with the knowledge that this stuff Quirk is doing will go the way of the Pet Rock or the singing plastic fish.

    @Grey_Area: I'd have said it'd do fine, but then I noticed my local music/books and DVD store had it sat beside this, Vampyre and my heart sank - it's lost the twihards right there, I think.

    Have you ever been romantically involved with someone who turned out to be a sea witch?

    Are we talking metaphorically? If so, yes.

    If not, yes.

    @NerD!!! - R.O.A.C.H.: I'd have to say no - to the romantically bit.

    It was simply wild, uninhibited cross-subspecies sex.

    Seaweed leaves a nasty rash, FYI.

    You know, I've yet to read any Jane Austen... this could be my way in :)

    I also love how everything is better with Zombies. Pride and prejudice, and Zombies. Mila Jovovich, and Zombies. Shopping Malls, and Zombies. Two scoops of double fudge mint ice cream in a waffle cone, and Zombies!...

    Love the style, not digging the quotes, unfortunately. Notably missing:

    "Soylent Green is people!"
    "May the Force be with you."
    "Game over, man! Game over!"
    "If it bleeds, we can kill it."
    "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

    If I made an ass out of myself and misquoted any of those lines, I apologize.
