Zombie-loving humorist Seth Grahame-Smith landed "a rumored $575,000" two-book deal with Grand Central Press, according to Publishers Weekly. The first book of the series is tentatively titled, "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."

Grahame-Smith won Internet fame for his Quirk Books bestseller, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." GalleyCat has reported on this viral hit since its inception, including that video interview with a Quirk editor. Meanwhile, PPZ backlash has already begun.

Here's more from the PW article: "[PPZ] came on assignment from Quirk's editorial director, Jason Rekulak--he has been lifted into another literary stratosphere. (Quirk currently has more than 120,000 copies in print of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, after publishing the book on April 1.)"
