I thought it all started with
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, by Quirk Books publishing. The little mash-up was a success so without hesitating Quirk quickly developed the thematic sequel,
Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. It was an original idea to take classic novels and mash them up with something completely unrelated to them in anyway. Of course it did not take long for others to start copying bringing us
Little Women and Werewolves,
Android Karenina, and many others
by different publishers.
