It Wasn't That Funny To Begin With, Anyway

New book in the library today: Zombies of Lake Woebegotten by "Harrison Geillor."

That does it. I am declaring Zombie Remixes to be Old Meme. Time to come up with the next novelty novel genre to torment booksellers and librarians with.

Also, I hereby demand that publishers place a moratorium on any titles that cram the words "dead," "vampire," "fang," or any other undead term into stock idioms and pretend they are puns. Yes, I'm looking at you, Michele Bardsley, and you, Kathy Love. You are spoiling it for the rest of us.

I'm pushing for Minotaurs to become the new teen heart-throb fantasy being. I'm sure you could get some killer drama out of that. Especially with a sassy street-smart female lead to carry things along....

I dunno, the kraken has a strong following ...

The sassy street-smart female is reserved for a slightly older demographic of urban chick lit fantasy. Not so much Pride and Prejudice and Zombies as it is Sex & The City & Mothman.
