It's still a better idea than at least half the other monsterfied classics, like Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, or Middlemarch and Minotaurs, or All Quiet On the Western Front Except Holy Shit, Zombies!, or Nicholas Nickelback*, but I'm a little jaded about the entire classics/monster mashup concept at this point. Maybe if any of the books were actually good enough to work as something more than one-beat jokes, I'd be more of a fan.
