Riassunto

A new edition of the splicing of Austen's classic romance with ultra-violent zombie mayhem includes a new preface by Grahame-Smith, thirteen new full-color oil-painting illustrations, and 30 percent more zombie scenes, in a book about Elizabeth Bennet's efforts to crush a zombie plague that has befallen the village of Meryton, all while dealing with the haughty Mr. Darcy.

Su questo libro

Recensione

'A delectable literary mash-up might we hope for a sequel? Grade A-.'—Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly

'Jane Austen isn't for everyone. Neither are zombies. But combine the two and the only question is, Why didn't anyone think of this before? The judicious addition of flesh-eating undead to this otherwise faithful reworking is just what Austen's gem needed.'—Wired

'Has there ever been a work of literature that couldn't be improved by adding zombies?'—Lev Grossman, Time

'Such is the accomplishment of Pride And Prejudice And Zombies that after reveling in its timeless intrigue, it's difficult to remember how Austen's novel got along without the undead. What begins as a gimmick ends with renewed appreciation of the indomitable appeal of Austen's language, characters, and situations. Grade A.'—The Onion A.V. Club
