Zombies mash-up author receives rumored $575,000 for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies author Seth Grahame-Smith, whose Jane Austen mash-up has more than 120,000 copies in print since its publication April 1, has just inked a two-book deal with Grand Central Press for a rumored $575,000, Publishers Weekly reported. Grand Central Press would not comment on the size of the advance.

Grahame-Smith's first book for Grand Central Press, which currently has no release date, will be Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. The proposal for the new novel sold at auction Wednesday, and the story is a loose sketch of Lincoln's life with one twist—our 16th president is the world's most skilled vampire hunter.

A film proposal has already started circulating, with the William Morris agency handling film rights.

What's next? Shirley Temple: Necromancer?

I'm on a train to Michigan. I should have brought snacks, but I am soothed by the fact that my train currently is on time and I'll be devouring an enormous pizza shortly after I arrive.

::sigh::

At this point, if I DID have a good idea for a paranormal/vampire book, I'm so perverse, I'd probably fight like hell against writing it. Just... 'cause.

Work is slow. I have already filled out 1.5 divorce forms. There are just two I have to get done for the initial filing. After that...a BUNCH more.

I've never seen so many old old photos of gay couples....

I wouldn't assume those people are gay. Standards of physical affection in public differ in different places and times. For example, in recent times in Turkey it was common for close male friends (not sexually involved) to hold hands.

I'm having more trouble dealing with the Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter than I was with the P&P&Zombies book, or even the Jane Austen mysteries.

Not sure why. It just seems... disrespectful.
