Austen Zombie Author Talks to EW

Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the book in which he interpolates Jane Austen's actual novel with scenes of undead mayhem, has been getting a whole lot of coverage lately. Now, you can head over to Entertainment Weekly's website and read an exclusive (albeit brief) interview with the writer.

Grahame-Smith talks about the origin of the idea for the book, as well as his feelings about the coincidental (?) emergence of the upcoming film project Pride and Predator, about murderous aliens who suddenly descend on Jane Austen's mannered English characters.
