It's absurd to think of 'Pride and Prejudice,' this classic, beloved book, beset with a zombie uprising. The goal is to make you suspend your disbelief enough to allow you to get lost in the story and believe what you're reading for a while.
Pride and Prejudice' - perhaps more than any other Jane Austen book - is engrained in our literary consciousness.
What makes a good book and what makes a good movie are totally different things.
I always say that the characters in Jane Austen's original books are rather like zombies because they live in this bubble of immense wealth and privilege and no matter what's going on around them they have a singular purpose to maintain their rank and to impress others.
So I grew up in a very book-friendly environment and my education as a writer was reading. I think that's the best education. Reading, and taking from the people I admired.
It was a really strange and unique sort of process for me to adapt my own book.
It was this weird confrontation of these two delicious flavors that got me consciously or subconsciously combining Lincoln and vampires as an observational in-joke with myself.
'Pride and Prejudice' - perhaps more than any other Jane Austen book - is engrained in our literary consciousness.

Your quarrel is with God. I merely wish to offer Him the opportunity to judge you.
I wouldn't back away from what's right just because it's hard.
Any man who has seen the face of death knows better than to seek him out a second time.
