Faux-orrifying adj.

Describes local efforts to cash in on the national trendiness of monsters-with-everything mash-ups and vampires. The monsterization fad that began with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies now begets Portland publisher Eraserhead Books’ The Vegan Revolution… With Zombies! (and an amusing book trailer).
