Because Zombies Make Everything Better

Okay so we are going to take a break from vampires today to talk about (dun dun dun) - Zombies!!!!


Pride and Prejudice is an awesome, classic work of fiction by Jane Austen where people attend balls and follow the proper rules of society. So wouldn't it be awesome if you took this classic work of fiction and threw some zombies into the mix. That is what has happened - and it totally rocks. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies maintains 80% of the original content - and adds zombies into the mix. (And I tell ya, I just can not say the word zombies enough - what a fun word!). So while everyone is attending the ball and doing their waltzes, some unique party crashers show up. Awesome.


Now in all truth, Pride and Prejudice is actually a really good book in its own right. Really, even though it does show up on high school reading lists - it is good. So read the original, and then pick up the zombie-fied version and compare notes.


Then you can read Mr. Darcy, Vampyre. And Sense and Sensibilities and Sea Monsters. And War of the Worlds Plus Bloog, Guts and Zombies. All coming soon.


So I leave you today with this awesome piece of Zombie flair . . .
