by Louisa May Alcott and Porter Grand
Description from the amazon:
A literary landmark—the original, suppressed draft of the classic novel!
Little Women is a timeless classic. But Louisa May Alcott’s first draft—before her editor sunk his teeth into it—was even better. Now the original text has at last been exhumed. In this uncensored version, the March girls learn some biting lessons, transforming from wild girls into little women—just as their friends and neighbors transform into vicious, bloodthirsty werewolves!
Here are tomboy Jo, quiet Beth, ladylike Amy, and good-hearted Meg, plus lovable neighbor Laurie Laurence, now doomed to prowl the night on all fours, maiming and devouring the locals. As the Civil War rages, the girls learn the value of being kind, the merits of patience and grace, and the benefits of knowing a werewolf who can disembowel your teacher.
By turns heartwarming and blood-curdling, this rejuvenated classic will be cherished and treasured by those who love a lesson in virtue almost as much as they enjoy a good old-fashioned dismemberment.
Includes the original letter from Alcott’s editor, telling her not to even think about it!

ReplyDelete(funny answer)
Just for the LOL factor I'd have to say that Humpty Dumpty would have to be mashed up with werewolves in some way. I think it would be awesome!
(Super serious answer)
Snow White maybe? That might be a twisted little tale after the werewolves get into it.

Little Women was one of the first classics I ever read - I loved the March girls!!!! So natch I am 'dyin' to read this :)
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo - for the ultimate in weirdness - I would say the Borrowers! Can you imagine a family of MINIATURE werewolves hiding in your pantry? Little Billy or Susie wouldn't be so dang quick to sneak between meal snacks if there were tiny werewolves living behind the Oreos ... hahaha
Great contest, This book looks really good. I picked it for the wowmeme a couple of weeks ago! :) Again, please count me in. LOL

I have to say, of all the mash-ups being churned out, this one intrigues me most.

I think I have to go with Little House on the Prairie. I loved the earlier suggestion of the The Borrowers - that would be awesome.

ReplyDeleteSherlocke Holmes or Shakespeare.

I think Gone with the Wind would be cool with a paranormal twist. I'm not sure if that counts as childhood classic, since I read it as a teenager.

hmmm....pippi longstocking maybe? :)

What childhood classic would you like to see with werewolf twist?
ReplyDeleteWhite Snow. Maybe the prince was a werewolf.
Little Women is one of my favorite books!
ReplyDeleteA childhood classic with werewolves? How about my favorite Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House in the Big Werewolf Woods! That would be interesting!

How about A Little Princess? Maybe the headmistress and some of the older girls turn into werewolves and that's why they can't be nice to people :)
ReplyDeleteakaleistar (at) gmail (dot) com
Hmmm I was big on the Babysitters' Club as a child - werewolves would have been a fun addition hehe =)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be entered! thebookishtype [at] yahoo [dot] com
Thanks!
This one great Q. I think I want The Little Red Riding Hood!Wow, that will make a dark story. And I bet Tim Burton will be a great director for this one like Alice in Wonderland(if it turn into movie)
ReplyDeletedarlyn225(at)gmail(dot)com
I would like to see The Little Mermaid done.
ReplyDeletelizzi0915 at aol dot com
Hm.. from tales: Snow White, would be interesting! I'm quite sure the dwarves were werewolves, that's why they live in the middle of the forest! (Haha it would also be fun to raeda version of the Little Red Riding Hood, where the wolf would bite the grandma and Little Red Riding Hood and they would become werewolves, lol!)
ReplyDeleteYA literature: Anne of Green Gables!

For me, it's going to have to be Dr Doolittle. That guy can give any miscreant a stiff uppercut to the jaw, and quell any lycanthropic tendencies by using his irrefutable logic on both Man, Beast AND Man-Beast.
ReplyDeleteWinner!

Red Ridinghood came to mind as soon as I read the question.

I would love to see Gone With The Wind with Werewolves.
ReplyDeletejellybelly82158 at gmail dot com
I could imagine that werewolves in the Hundred Acre Wood would put poor Piglet into a real panic!
ReplyDeleteBut I think they would fit nicely into an Enid Blyton story : The Famous Five and the Werewolf.

You could do a remake of The Hound of the Baskervilles and have the Wolves of the Baskervilles...it has potential. :D
ReplyDeleteWhoops...you need email addy

Give Beauty & the Beast a more adult twist by making Beast a werewolf. It could work.
ReplyDeletegevin13{at}gmail{dot}com
Little Red Ridinghood is what first comes to my mind. But as pixie13 said, Beauty and the Beast might be cool to do too :D It's my favorite fairytale!
