Another Great Book Trailer: Night of the Living Trekkies

By Ransom Riggs

In the short few years that book trailers have existed as a Thing People Know About, publisher Quirk Books has reigned more or less supreme, starting with their trailer for Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters last year (directed by me, shameless plug!) and continuing with their action-packed trailer for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Book II: Dawn of the Dreadfuls. But just released today might be their greatest trailer yet -- for the completely original not-inspired-by-classic-texts genre mashup Night of the Living Trekkies, directed by my buddy Justin Lutsky. It's one of those trailers that makes me want to go buy the book and see the movie, even though the movie doesn't exist! Kind of a beautiful fake-out.
