Geekadelphia Reviews Sea Monsters
10/16/2009The book is a riot, and absolutely worth the purchase. Winters’ proves that Quirk wasn’t just piggy backing off the success of Zombies, but instead, giving us an awesome series of rewritten texts to look forward to. That’s right, this isn’t the last in the Quirk Classics series, and I can’t wait for the next one. The book is available now in stores, and I suggest you grab a copy.

10/21/2009If there’s one thing I can say about Quirk Books, it’s that they know how to cater to the geek crowd. From books on how to be like Batman to collections of video game art, they seem to hit all our bases. Especially the bases that love zombies and monsters.

Winters cements this idea by inflating the silliness of love to blasphemy.
The A.V. Club Calls Sea Monsters a Sheer Delight!
09/24/2009...Naturally, every derivative idea deserves a sequel, or a whole slew of them, so Quirk commissioned Ben H. Winters to punch up Jane Austen’s Sense And Sensibility with man-eating beasts from the briny deep. And once again, to the consternation of purists everywhere, the result is sheer delight.

09/29/2009...And then there it was, within this unashamedly Regency display, hardly looking at all out of place with its brilliantly executed cover artwork, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters (Quirk), the only hint that something was amiss being the tentacles flowing down the side of the hero’s face like so many rubbery locks.
