Last week, Quirk Books accidentally created a viral blockbuster after the literary web embraced their upcoming title, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
In April, the book will give Jane Austen‘s classic novel a horror-show twist. At the NYC Comics Convention, GalleyCat caught up with an editor at Quirk, finding out more about great zombie literature.

These days, writers aren’t just writers: They’re social-media mavens, seasoned public speakers, and one-person publicity machines. And they still have to find time to write their books!
