Mamma Mia: The Dead Walk Again

Much like an unstoppable animated corpse that seeks on your destruction, the Mamma Mia film series has returned with a sequel, Mamma Mia! Here I Go Again. With Lily James, the star of Pride And Prejudice And Zombies, joining the cast as a young version of Meryl Streep’s character, it’s hard not to imagine how a zombie-filled, ABBA-inspired musical might go.

The Reading Dead

So with that in mind, we thought it would be nice to give the characters some reading suggestions for the next time they walk into a town and have a chance to raid a library.

LEGO-Inspired Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

The LEGO Batman Movie, written by our own Seth Grahame-Smith, is in theaters tomorrow! You may recognize Seth from a little best seller called Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. To celebrate, Kristen from My Friends Are Fiction created a mashup of LEGO and the cover of PPZ. Now that's rad! 

If this doesn't make you want to see The LEGO Batman Movie while silmutaneously reading PPZ, we don't know what will. (But really, don't do that. One at a time, friends.)

Make sure to check out Kristen's other awesome covers over on her site. Enjoy!
