YAY OR NAY: Pride and Prejudice and... Zombies?

Prideandprejudiceandzombies Did you ever read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice?

Did you delight in the tale of plucky, picky heroine Elizabeth Bennett and her on/off passions for the brooding Mr Darcy - but felt that something was missing from the story?

Was it zombies?

If so, then make sure you pick up a copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, "reimagined" by Los Angeles-based writer Seth Grahame-Smith to inject "all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action" into the cherished classic.

Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy will continue their courtly mannered sparring, but Elizabeth will also be waging war against the legions of undead rising from their graves as a mysterious plague turns the residents of Meryton into flesh-eating monsters.

Yes, I am serious. No, it isn't the 1st of April.

Grahame-Smith's previous novels include How to Survive a Horror Movie and The Big Book of Porn, so it's safe to assume that his tongue was lodged firmly in his cheek when he wrote this:

'Complete with 20 illustrations in the style of C. E. Brock (the original illustrator of Pride and Prejudice), this insanely funny expanded edition will introduce Jane Austen's classic novel to new legions of fans.'

Of course, references to Jane Austen spinning in her grave would be entirely appropriate here, but thankfully I have too much taste to make them.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies will be available from Quirk Books from the 15th of April 2009.

"In these times of glory and trial for France," he proceeded, pitching his
voice to a tone of Starwalker

before their public duties! On the Meisterstuck
Silver Barley Fountain Pen mont blanc boheme pencil first attempt of my
mother to violate the laws against emigration, by escaping from France, I failed
in making the heroic sacrifice which inexorable patriotism demanded of me. My
situation was more terrible than the situation of Brutus sitting in judgment on
his own sons. I had not the Roman fortitude to rise equal to it. I erred,
citizens--erred as Coriolanus did, when his august mont blanc ascent mother
pleaded with him for the safety of Rome! For that error I deserved to he purged
out of the republican community; but I escaped my merited punishment--nay, I
even rose to the honor of holding an office under the Government. Time passed;
and again my mother attempted an escape from France. Again, inevitable fate
brought my civic virtue to the test. How did I mont blanc st. louis meet this
second supremest trial? By an atonement for past weakness, terrible as the trial
itself. Citizens, you will shudder; but you will applaud while you tremble.
Citizens, look! and while you look, remember well the evidence given at the
opening of this case. Yonder stands the enemy of his country, who intrigued to
help my mother to escape; here stands the patriot son, whose voice was the
first, the only voice, to denounce him for the crime!" As he spoke, he pointed
to Trudaine, then struck himself on the breast, then folded his arms, and looked
sternly at the benches occupied by the spectators.
