Jane Slayer + Little Women and Werewolves
by Charlotte Bronte and Sherri Browning Erwin
Takes the original Jane Eyre storyline and adds vampires, werewolves, and assorted zombies. Obviously, Erwin thinks she is a more compelling writer than Bronte, since very little of the original work is used. What makes Pride and Prejudice and Zombies so much better is the use of the classic work, adding the supernatural. Erwin misses the point of adaptations by adding too much side story and changing the basic feelings of Jane & Rochester... and creates a sloppy, silly book. Excellent example of taking a good idea & ruining it with your own thoughts about how a classic book should be written.
by Louisa May Alcott and Porter Grand
If it's possible, this conglomeration is even worse than Jane Slayer! Ugh... stupid, stupid, stupid! Which is again a shame, since the werewolf angle is perfect for this story. Unfortunately, Grand decides to change almost everything known about "typical" werewolves to make things creepy and salacious. Ick
