Synopsis
Resurrecting Jane Austen's classic story of Elizabeth Bennett, a young English lady who never quite fits the form, Seth Grahame-Smith has brought in George Romero as consultant. Whether or not you think Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE needs a retooling, it is hard to dispute the cleverness (or trend savviness) of television writer Grahame-Smith's conceit: believe it or not, some published Austen scholars have analyses ready to support a zombie reading of P&J. Martial art battles, the walking dead, and brains splatter the pages of Austen's book, one strong enough to sustain this and the other attacks sure to follow.

Publisher's Note
A new edition of the splicing of Austen's classic romance with ultra-violent zombie mayhem includes a new preface by Grahame-Smith, thirteen new full-color oil-painting illustrations, and 30 percent more zombie scenes, in a book about Elizabeth Bennet's efforts to crush a zombie plague that has befallen the village of Meryton, all while dealing with the haughty Mr. Darcy. Read by Katherine Kellgren.

Industry Reviews
"[F]or a Jane Austen fan, the gratifying aspect of reading PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES is not the comic bloodthirsty additions, but rather how they highlight the humor that already exists in the original PRIDE AND PREJUDICE."
(04/17/2009)

"This Meryton and its environs are threatened by the flesh-eating undead, and the Bennet girls aim to do their duty, even as they fret about what to wear to the next ball."
(04/20/2009)

"[T]here's something particularly hilarious about introducing the undead into an English novel of manners."
(04/05/2009)

"The book, probably the first Austen/horror mashup to make it into print, is roughly 85 percent Austen's original text, with references to monsters, putrefying flesh and ninja swordplay added on just about every page." Jennifer Schuessler nyt 02/21/2009
