"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie
in possession of brains must be in want of more brains." So begins
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved
Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie
mayhem. 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. Can she vanquish the
spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the
class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak,
swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and
Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature
into something you'd actually want to read.
