They're looking for reviewers! Definitely a slow-clap-worthy addition to anyone's resume.

Ooh, that sounds kinda fun. Though I doubt they'd have much use for the standard review I give almost all books: "This book sucked. There wasn't a single character with adamantium claws or the ability to teleport."

And they didn't say anything about getting a free copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. So forget it.

Hmmm....if someone's making money off of putting zombies in regency-era novels, there may be some cash to be made by adding adamantium claws and teleporting into the classics.....

"Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show. To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born (as I have been informed and believe) on a Friday, at twelve o'clock at night. It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously upon being dunked into a pool of liquid admantium. I am told that my parents were very nice people, but, unfortunately, SNIK!, I had yet to learn the dangers of my unusual claws...."

"Idle reader: Without my swearing to it, you can believe that I would like this book, the child of my understanding, to be the most beautiful, the most brilliant, and the most discreet that anyone could imagine. But I have not been able to contravene the natural order; in it, like begets like. And so what could my barren and poorly cultivated wits beget but the history of a child who is dry, withered, capricious, and starkly blue of visage, who finds himself at one moment in a truant's prison, and at the next *BAMF*, through ash and sulfur, to the high ropes of a Munich circus where he is paid pennies to show his demon's face..."

Lenin's Ghost! I think we've discovered a genre I could really love!

Love 'em but the copyright on X-Men is not set to expire anytime soon.

How about taking another public domain item and mixing with...
oh I don't know...I think I should keep it for my project.

You know the whole idea reminds me a little of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
