Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: eBook

Just in time for Halloween, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Interactive eBook has been released for the iPad/iPhone (and it's available for $4.99 for a limited time). Seth Grahame-Smith's mash up of Jane Austen's classic tale of society, manners, love, and zombies is a pitch-perfect comedy, and this ebook edition features rich illustrations to make the experience enjoyable even for people who don't like books. It's brought to us by PadWorx, the mad geniuses behind last year's award-winning Dracula: The Official Stoker Family Edition ebook.



Adam's Scary Apples

Candy apples are the iconic treat of Halloween. Like their caramel counterparts, candy apples require a few careful tricks to ensure success. A candy thermometer is essential, and you'll also need to remove the wax coating from supermarket apples. For inspiration, head over to the Matt Bites blog for the most wicked looking candy apples, and the recipe for Adam's Scary Apples.
