"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.
Dawn of the Dreadfuls
In this terrifying and hilarious prequel, we witness the genesis of the zombie plague in early-nineteenth-century England. We watch Elizabeth Bennet evolve from a naïve young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. We laugh as she begins her first clumsy training with nunchucks and katana swords and cry when her first blush with romance goes tragically awry. Written by acclaimed novelist (and Edgar Award nominee) Steve Hockensmith, Dawn of the Dreadfuls invites Austen fans to step back into Regency England, Land of the Undead!
Dreadfully Ever After
The story opens with our newly married protagonists, Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy, defending their village from an army of flesh-eating “unmentionables.” But the honeymoon has barely begun when poor Mr. Darcy is nipped by a rampaging dreadful. Elizabeth knows the proper course of action is to promptly behead her husband (and then burn the corpse, just to be safe). But when she learns of a miracle antidote under development in London, she realizes there may be one last chance to save her true love—and for everyone to live happily ever after.

Well I have always found that Mr Darcy annoys me a tad so I think I would go for his brains first!

The idea that Fitzwilliam is a ridiculous name for a zombie keeps sticking in my head.

I love PPZ!! Except I've only read the 2nd and 3rd books, not the 1st...
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whose brains I would like to eat; I don't remember any particularly sweet characters in the book. Oh wait, Elizabeth's older sister...but I'd feel bad eating her.

I think I would go for Wickham first. Wickham just seems like a good zombie name.

I've read the original PPZ. It was enjoyable and funny, so I'd love to read the others.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd definitely go after Wickham's brain first.

Braaaaains! I don't think that Mr. Collins' brains would necessarily be the tastiest, but I would go for his first just to get him outta the way. Not overly fond of him.
ReplyDeleteAs for my Jane-zombie name...Edith Greymatter. Sounds like a Britishey type name, lol.
I would go for Mr. Darcy's brains first. I think they would be the tastiest. Please enter me in contest. I would love to read the series. Tore923@aol.com
ReplyDeleteMr.Darcy for sure...

I would go for Wickham first because I find the name amusing for a zombie. Maybe Mr. Darcy based on looks haha

Seriously I do wonder how Mr. Darcy would taste ;D Bwahaha, just kidding!

Bwahahahahahahahha
ReplyDeletehahahahahahahha
hahahhahahahahahhahahaha
*still laughing*
I would for sure go for Caloline Bingley's brains if given the chance. She's the most irritating person and quite deserves to have her head hollowed out by the undead. candicetuttle(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteMr Darcy's would be one of the tastiest but I also love Mr. Collins and he is rather interesting.... but then they would be dead - I would rather they turn into zombies so they can entertain forever!!! Muahahahahah
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! Thank you :)

Mr Darcy would probably be tastiest..yum! lol though i would eat lady catherine, not because shes tasty, but because she irrates me and i just want to get rid of her. lol
ReplyDeleteshadow_kohler@att.net
I would eat either Caroline Bingley's or Lady Catherine's brains. A fitting end for two such women. =O)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!

I always found Lydia and Mrs. Bennett to be a little annoying, so their brains need to go first.
