Pride And Prejudice And Zombies

Anyone who’s read my books knows that I enjoy a good zombie romp as much as the next guy.  The trouble is, there’s nothing really new you can do with the stumbling, brain-munching creatures of the undead that hasn’t already been seen before – or so I thought until I stumbled across an exciting new book, due for publication in June – Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.  Oh, how I wish I’d thought of that!

The official write-up for the book reads:

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.
