In September I have ever heard about the (successful) cannibalization of old classics reported. Now there is supply, this time on the German market.
"Abraham Lincoln - Vampire Hunter" by Seth Grahame-Smith is not very surprising to find in the German translation by Heyne. The novel, published in May 2011.
America's greatest hero had a bloody mystery
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th greatest president of the United States, liberator of slaves, re-combiner of the Union and American hero.

But there are other treasures in this little gold man "Werther, the Werewolf" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe / Wolf G. Heimrath. May 2011

Panini has this, not caught for schools (because only 16) appropriate work: "The bodies of Young Werther" Susan Picard. April 2011
The cover of the way, is no accident, just watch the Reclam edition.

comic fans will also not too short, because there since September last year there: Victorian Undead: Sherlock Holmes vs. Zombies "by Ian Edginton / Davide Fabbri.

For by the gas light only dimly lit streets of Victorian London's shuffle suddenly living corpses! The city threatened a plague of biblical proportions!

Ian Edginton and Davide Fabbri away to a Baker Street world that the Holmes fan is familiar, they combine with the apocalyptic horror of an epidemic man-eating corpses, and there is something new and unique, a masterpiece of modern comic art: Victorian Undead .
