I’ve spent the last seven years answering questions about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith, so at this point there should be nothing left to say.

But the Hollywood adaptation hits theaters today, and Julie Leung, our social media manager, asked me to write a blog post commemorating the occasion, so here I am.  And as it happens, there is one story about the publication of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies that I’ve never told anyone. 

Roses are Red

Violets are Blue

We sniff books

And so do you

We like to carry our favorite characters around with us—figuratively, of course—and imagine them in scenarios. Like when we’re picking out Valentine’s Day cards we might imagine Jareth shopping for one and ponder what his would say. Luckily, here at Quirk Books, this kind of thinking is not only encouraged, we’re asked to make these cards a reality. It is why Photoshop was invented, right? Here's how we imagined the valentines from our favorite ‘80s characters would look like. 

Job hazard: When you’re working on a book titled Men With Cats, you get "men" and "cats" on the brain, and sometimes, "men cats." We were recently struck with the insatiable urge to make a "men cat" coloring page. We were having so much fun busting out the crayons, we thought we’d share. You're welcome, world!
