Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

I saw this at a bookshop in GreyLynn this morning and fell about the place laughing - it was so unexpected! The catchlines in it are very funny, and all the more so if you've read the book.
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains"

"So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read."

"A few of the guests, who had the misfortune of being too near the windows, were seized and feasted on at once".

"The classic regency romance - now with ultraviolent zombie mayhem"

That is hilarious! I love this sort of thing. But how would this format work with Shelley's Frankenstein?
