Spin In Your Grave, Ms. Austen!



After waiting for a few months, it's finally here. Haven't read it yet and I won't have an opportunity to really tackle it until the end of the week but boy, I don't remember the last time I was this excited to be reading a Jane Austen novel. Let's hope this won't turn out to be one huge suck. I was promised ninjas, zombies and Elizabeth Bennet kicking butt so you better deliver, Seth Grahame-Smith!

Pride And Prejudice And Zombies (Quirk Books, 2009)


Best argument against copyright term extension ever! This could either be very, very good or very, very bad. It's exactly what you think it is: Jane Austen's classic novel, now with zombies. And this is from it's Facebook page, "we're happy to report that Pride and Prejudice and Zombie HAS ninjas in it! We've got your back!" Mr. Darcy, zombies and ninjas, all in the same book. Kicking!

From the link:
"Jane Austen is the author of Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and other masterpieces of English literature.

Seth Grahame-Smith is the author of How to Survive a Horror Movie and The Big Book of Porn."


Some days I just don't mind living at the end of civilisation.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies will be out April 15 but Amazon says May 13.
