Pride and Prejudice and ... Zombies?

0 comments

Some books just cry out for attention.  After all, how can you not pick up Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies?  Hell, it even looks like the Jane Austen classic (except Elizabeth Bennet looks kind of, like, dead in this version). And the opening proves this pastiche is going to be irresistable: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."

Apparently the story is pretty much the same as Austen's original...sort of.  There's Elizabeth, the lovely but defiant daughter, in her evolving love/hate relationship with Mr. Darcy ...

 ... except the both of them, and eveyrone else, are busy sparring with flesh-eating zombies risen from the graveyards of the charming little English  village of Meryton.  So expect plenty of head-shots and piles of corpses along with the quips and quiet agony of love.

It really is an idea that's too good not to do...
