I just
finished reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth
Graham-Smith (who once took a class is English Literature.)
Though on
first sight one might pass the book off as part of the fluff collections of the
horror genera; but, I challenge you to read the first twenty pages and then put
the book away.
I have never
read any of Jane Austin’s, or had any desire to try one of this ilk; but the
inclusion of zombies have made the book both palatable and intriguing – forcing
me to carrying on to the end of what otherwise would have been a soupy love
story.
Pride and
Prejudice and Zombies is a love story that is absolutely ridiculous to the
point of absurdity – with enough violence and gore to excite the most harden horror
fan.

on your say so I will check it out
ReplyDeleteThis zombie pastiche has brought a whole new readership to Jane Austen! I think there's another one too -- "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Serpents" or something like that.
