Okay, it was a cute concept for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters didn’t sound nearly as cute (though I haven’t read it and really haven’t seen any reviews about it, so I don’t really know how it is). But really – Little Women and Werewolves? The book is going to be written by one Porter Grand… and I know absolutely nothing about him. Has anyone else heard anything about him??
Apparently,
the beloved little women must keep not just the wolf, but the werewolves, from the door…and the kindly old gentlemen next door and his grandson may have some secrets to hide–or share with the March girls.

I don’t want to read about Laurie being a werewolf. Or the wonderful Mr. Laurence. This feels much more sacrilegious than P&P&Z because I grew up on Little Women, and only discovered P&P when I was in university. As if those poor March girls don’t have enough to deal with on their own!
What I would be interested in seeing, though, is whether it is just Little Women, or whether Good Wives would be included – I know most people consider these books the same book, and most publishers include the two in the same book, but the copy I have only has the actual Little Women book in it, leaving off when Mr. March comes home, before any of them get married. Which doesn’t bother me, as I never really liked Good Wives.
Anyway! What do you think? Is the monster mash-up genre overdone already? Or are you thrilled to the tips of your fingers and toes of the thought of Jo March battling werewolves?
