Jane Austen with Sea Monsters
I know I am sounding like Seinfeld right now but: What's the deal with books where classic texts are mingled with zombies and sea monsters? Is this legal? Zosia and I were shocked to see the books "Sense and Sensibility with Sea Monsters" and "Pride and Prejudice with Zombies" in Borders the other day. The author was given as "Jane Austen and ____ ____". (I don't remember the other writer's name, don't care to. How can he or she live with this?) This just seems so wrong, I don't even know what to say about it.

Well, have you read the reviews?
To tell you the truth, I don't care what the reviewers say: it just seems wrong to me!
Once something passes out of copyright and in to the public domain, it becomes fair game. But that doesn't make it right. Next time I'm in Borders, maybe I'll look for them and "misfile" them.
