Seth Grahame-Smith writes comic horror and mash-up fiction that combines familiar historical or literary material with monsters and genre parody. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies inserts zombie attacks, martial arts and survival training into the structure of Jane Austen's novel, while Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter turns the US president's life into an alternate history involving a secret war against vampires. Unholy Night similarly reworks a biblical story as violent adventure. Grahame-Smith's books are fast, irreverent and premise-driven, depending on the contrast between recognised source material and deliberately absurd supernatural additions. They fit horror comedy, literary mash-up and alternate-history parody, particularly for readers who enjoy high-concept retellings more than faithful historical recreation. Read more Less
