Book News: Little Vampire Women by Louisa May Alcott & Lynn Messina
May 7th, 2010 by LeahA lot of classic books are currently getting fangs and things and another classic to be relaunched with vampires is Louisa May Alcott’s classic Little Women. Now titled Little Vampire Women and written by Lynn Messina this book is out now in the USA and releases in the UK on 5th August. I haven’t read the original and although I don’t know if I totally agree with making the vampirish, it is every so slightly original. What do you think? Yay or Nay to classics being revamped?
The classic novel of love and family in the nineteenth century has grown some fangs! An uproarious retelling of Little Women that will leave readers craving the bloodthirsty drama on every page. Readers will be agog and aghast at the hilarity of the March sisters’ vampire transformation - especially now that Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy have (much) longer lives and (much) more ravenous appetites. When a classic is perfect, there is only one thing that can make it better: folding in a breed of monsters! With vampires thrown in the mix, readers will love the darkly hilarious twist on the beloved story of the March girls.

I love classics and vampires so this should be interesting!
I found Little Women outstanding, I LOVE it- and will be reading this one!
I have read that Louisa May Alcott also wrote horror stories (but under a pseudonym), so this might just work. I’m putting it on my “to read” list right now.
