Synopsis
Following fast on the successful heels of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES, Quirk books recasts the landed gentry and provincial country-folk of Jane Austen's first novel with ravenous cephalopods, over-grown crustaceans, and other frightening creatures of the deep blue sea. When their father dies and his estates passes to their older half-brother and his greedy wife, the ladies Dashwood (the eldest and most sensible sister Elinor, free-spirited Marianne, their mother and younger sister) must move from a comfortable British countryside home to a bizarre island overrun with oceanic monsters. Needless to say, adventures ensue. Riffing on Austen's work--which was itself parodying the romantic fiction of her times--is a genius move. Whether or not readers have spent time with the original text (or rabidly following the development of the sea-monster genre), the tropes are familiar enough and the adventures fun enough to make this quite an enjoyable read.

Publisher's Note
Following up on the success of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies comes a new tale that combines a Regency classic with monster mayhem, in which a Jane Austen novel is expanded with all-new scenes of giant lobsters, rampaging octopi, two-headed sea serpents and other biological monstrosities. Original.

Industry Reviews
"It's hard to say, in the end, if this is an homage, an exploitation, a deconstruction, or just a 300-page parlor trick....[T]he book's best moments do achieve a kind of bizarro symbiosis."
(09/14/2009)

"A very funny idea, and there's a pleasure in watching someone be so silly with the kind of book generally treated as sacrosanct. Winters constructed his version by using much of the original text, and some of the funniest sentences are the ones that begin with Austen's phraseology and then tumble into ridiculousness."
