LITERATURE
Quirk, an independent publisher that started with a series of tongue-in-cheek guides for surviving highly unlikely misfortunes, has established the hybrid "mashup" genre-bending of out-of-copyright classics and horror-fied kitsch.
— behind the monster bestseller "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"It has in a way become kind of a modern, or a postmodern, classic," said Quirk president

and founder David Borgenicht, whose 15-person staff works in an inconspicuous building on a cobblestone-paved side street in Philadelphia's Old City neighborhood. "That wasn't at all our intent. It was simply too crazy not to publish."
"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," Quirk's first foray into fiction, debuted in April 2009 at No. 3 on The New York Times best-seller list. It has sold more than a million copies, been translated into nearly two dozen languages, been made into a graphic novel and an iPhone game, and been optioned for the big screen.
Ever look at something and ask yourself why you didn't think of it first? That's one way Quirk comes up with its titles.
"When we have an idea and say, 'If this was a book, I'd buy it,' Borgenicht said, "that instinct is key."
It was creative director Jason Rekulak's idea to add lumbering hordes of discourteous flesh-eaters to Jane Austen's 19th-century comedy of manners, "Pride and Prejudice," spawning a monstrous hit.
