Witness the birth of a heroine in Dawn of the Dreadfuls--a thrilling
prequel set four years before the horrific events of Pride and
Prejudice and Zombies. As our story opens, the Bennet sisters are
enjoying a peaceful life in the English countryside. They idle away the
days reading, gardening, and daydreaming about future husbands--until a
funeral at the local parish goes strangely and horribly awry.
Suddenly corpses are springing from the soft earth--and only one family
can stop them. As the bodies pile up, we watch Elizabeth Bennet evolve
from a naive young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. Along
the way, two men vie for her affections: Master Hawksworth is the
powerful warrior who trains her to kill, while thoughtful Dr.
Keckilpenny seeks to conquer the walking dead using science instead of
strength. Will either man win the prize of Elizabeth's heart? Or will
their hearts be feasted upon by hordes of marauding zombies? Complete
with romance, action, comedy, and an army of shambling corpses, Pride
and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls will have Jane Austen
rolling in her grave--and just might inspire her to crawl out of it!
