Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

| | comments (2)

God-fucking-dammit, why didn't I think of this:

Coming soon from Chronicle Books!

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.

Fuck. Fuckity fuck fuck.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is available to preorder at Amazon.com.

I preordered my copy, because my torture and defeat is not yet complete.

Well, you can always write something like Wuthering Frights, in which the classic Bronte novel is redone as a ghost story. Oh, wait...
So .. anyone read this yet?

I'm almost done, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The zombie mayhem is fun enough, but surprising was the addition of a few other bits and pieces. The way that Elizabeth and Darcy always seem to hear the word "balls" as a double entendre I found particularly amusing.

And there are suggested discussion topics at the end.
