Pride and Prejudice and Zombies


This is the first time I've seen something like this, and I like the concept. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies contains the original text of the Jane Austen masterpiece, "spiced up with new portions featuring viloent, flesh-hungry zombie hordes." I haven't read the original or the updated version, but I can imagine that the injection of zombies will certainly make it a more palatable read for someone with my particular...aesthetic sensibilities.

Seth Grahame-Smith makes the literary zombie additions while the original illustrations by C. E. Brock are also updated by...someone who remains unnamed. Available for preorder here for the perfectly rounded sum of $10.36.
