About the Book:
"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is a unique mash-up of Jane Austen's classic novel "Pride and Prejudice" and the horror tropes of zombies. This audacious retelling brings together romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses. The story begins when a mysterious plague falls upon the quiet English village of Meryton, causing the dead to return to life. Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace but is 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.
