Pride and Zombies

Okay, a little while ago this book, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, was released.

I would just like to point out that about three years ago, as an April Fool's joke, I made a suggestion on a message board about just such a thing. I called it "Pride and Zombies" and it was originally conceived as a setting for All Flesh Must Be Eaten, a zombie-themed RPG that has many, many different genre supplements (including a Wild West supplement written by Shane Hensley) but is sadly lacking in the 19th Century English Countryside genre.

(Also, a little later it was conceived as a possible crossover setting for the Cinematic Unisystem Games, with Elizabeth Bennet or one of her friends as a Slayer, Ash showing up via time travel and Angelus as a possible villain. This would have been dreadfully fanfictiony, however, and I decided to drop it.)

So then someone goes and essentially writes my original idea in novel form. I guess I should have gone for it myself. Oh well.
