Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the original text of Jane Austen's beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action. As our story opens a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Complete with 20 illustrations in the style of C. E. Brock (the original illustrator of Pride and Prejudice) this insanely funny expanded edition will introduce Jane Austen's classic novel to new legions of fans.

Pride and Prejudice- with Zombies! A classic, updated for the modern, undead-aware age. (via Amazon)

if I can stop laughing enough to post this here, I will. A reworked version of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice as though they've returned from the dead. Complete with creepy illustrations!

I have to admit, my first reaction to the concept of this book was disbelief. Then I thought, "Why not?" To mix the world of Jane Austin with the world of slack-jawed, flesh-eating zombies is absurd. On the other hand, it is comic and may be low-brow. However, for a literature-loving, zombie fiend like myself, this is a must read. (via amazon.com)
