"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. Can Elizabeth
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 listen to.
