how can you not read a book with this title?

OMG! someone actually wrote this?  Wait, that isn't actually surprising, since if it can be written, someone out there will write it whether or not it should be written... but seriously, someone actually published it?

I want it to be wonderful.  It should be wonderful.  But I'm avoiding it now because I'm afraid that while the concept is hilarious, the actuality will just be stupid, and I don't feel like facing that disappointment right now.  But some day I most likely will pick it up.

Also, I secretly wish that I'd written it.  Think Wuthering Heights* would be improved by the addition of werewolves? 

Subject line borrowed from one of the many reviews that absolutely hated the book. 

* I'm leaving that uncorrected because "Wuthering Heights with Werewolves" just sounds so much better than "Jane Eyre With Vampires,' but in hindsight I've never actually read Wuthering Heights and was in fact thinking of Jane Eyre.  I think werewolves would fit wonderfully in Jane Eyre (vampires would too, for that matter), but the name just isn't as good without the alliteration.

Actually, Heathcliff and Cathy would make great werewolves.

I now want to write Jane Eyre with vampires for one line:

"Reader, I staked him."

I have it, and just started reading. It's pretty rad so far.

I've read it, I loved it.

So much so I've just started reading the original for the first time ever. The version with zombies is better.

Wuthering Heights with Werewolves also works because of the moors. The moorrrrrs.

Jane with werewolves should be titled Governess, What Big Eyres You Have.

Anything would be improved with the addition of werewolves.

But then, I may be a teeny bit biased. ;)
