Since vampires and werewolves took over the majority of the universe as of late, many classic stories are being rewritten and retold to incorporate these mythology obsessions. Some of the classics include Little Women and Werewolves and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Personally, I have yet to read any of the rewritten stories. It appears no author is safe from the creatures of myth because in August a new classic is coming out with a twist if vampire. Shakespeare's tale of forbidden lovers is being revamped into Romeo and Juliet and Vampires. Though I have not read the twisted classics, this one sparks my interest because I am a huge fan of Shakespeare's work, particularly Romeo and Juliet. A new trailer for the vampire-ized Shakespeare classic is attached to this blog-click here to watch it. What do you think? Is it something you'll be interested in reading? Have you read any other classic books that incorporate zombies or werewolves?
I just read Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter (I think thats the correct name) I found it very strange and the cause of much head shaking! But thats the great think about reading, something for everyone.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting SenoraG! I agree and I have to say I think this whole trend of changing classics to include vampires/zombies/werewolves/etc. is a bit strange as a whole. But like you said, there is something for everyone! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
ooo I've been wanting to talk about these, ever since I saw the trailer for "sense and sensibility and sea monsters" I've always been curious. I have yet to read any of these classics with a twist, but I have heard lots of good reviews about them :) Hopping on through via blog hop, am now a follower! Happy reading :)

Hi KIKA! It seems like these twisted classics are popping up everywhere! I think I'll have to read one, especially since the reviews are positive, like you said. Thanks for stopping by and following! And thanks for the comment! :)
