Zombie Austen

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…
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the original text of Jane Austen’s beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone crunching zombie action.
Are Zombies still funny? I’m honestly not sure. Regardless, someone has gone and updated a classic novel of English literature (boring!) and peppered the storyline with graphic depictions of flesh-eating (awesome!).
Will Elizabeth finally profess her growing affection for Mr. Darcy? Will Mr. Darcy, in turn, eat her face? No one can know for sure, so you’d better find out for yourself.
