Wild and Wanton

The Wild and Wanton versions of Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights just arrived at the bookstore...

Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy Finally DO IT!, proclaims the back cover..."From first kiss to orgasmic finish..."

and from the back cover of Wuthering Heights...

"Catherine and Heathcliff may have been doomed sweethearts from the start, but that's no reason to keep them from consummating their desperate desire for one another."

New scenes, paragraphs and lines have been added and are in bold text throughout each volume...

"He rode with the ease of a man who had spent his life around horses, and she found her eyes drifting down to where his strong thighs gripped the beast."

The above sentence is one of the very tame additions to Pride and Prejudice...the new "wild and wanton" passages get pretty steamy. There is not much left to the imagination in these versions!

Like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, these are pretty funny.

Vampires Everywhere!


Bram Stoker started it. Anne Rice got it going. Stephanie Meyer hit a nerve. Charlaine Harris is working it in books and on the small screen. It seems as though everyone is jumping on the vampire bandwagon.

Evidently, it hasn't been enough for vampires to have their own books and plotlines. Lately writers have wanted to augment books that are already written. Augment, that is, with vampires, and other fiendish creatures. Seth Grahame-Smith started with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Grahame-Smith's qualifications are delightfully impeccable. From the back cover of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies...

"Jane Austen is the author of Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and other masterpieces of English literature. Seth Grahame-Smith once took a class in English literature. He lives in Los Angeles."

Today the latest literary incarnation of vampires arrived at the store...a lovely hardcover...

                         Dick and Jane and Vampires

Using the original text from the Dick and Jane books, as well as the characters - Dick, Jane, Sally, Puff, Spot, Mother, and Father, the stories are the same, Sally plays hide-and-seek, etc,...however, in this book, a vampire is an added playmate.

No blood and gore here, these are preschool vampires, with just enough of a scare factor to get early readers interested in vampires, so they'll keep reading about them for the rest. of. their. lives.
