This humorous adaptation of the Jane Austen classic adds the horrifically repulsive element of the previously deceased. Set in the traditional English country side this tale relays the strange plague that has fallen upon the quiet village of Meryton.
Of the five classic sisters it is our heroine Elizabeth Bennet who is the most skilled in the deadly arts of mortal, or in this case undead, combat.
As the arrogant Mr. Darcy observes during the first ball in the book when zombies party crash and begin eating guests. The sisters join in strategic attacks, but to Mr. Darcys critical eye Elizabeth talent shined brightest.
Neighboring Mr. Bingleys ball is again the scene of zombie mayhem. This time it is the kitchen staff that suffered from Satans Minions hunger for brains and entrails. After this ghastly event Mr. Bingley and his sister leave Netherfield. When Mr. Bingley and Jane were later both in London it was Miss Bingley as well as Mr. Darcy who kept the young lovers apart. Mr. Darcy claims that his concern for his friend, Mr. Bingley, and fears Jane a victim of the strange plague due to an earlier illness are behind his desire to detach the two. This and the tales told by Mr. Whickam are the foundation of Elizabeths reason for refusing Mr. Darcys marriage proposal.
When the truth of the matter comes to light Elizabeths opinion is altered, but is it too late? Will the two overcome the social prejudices of the class conscious gentry? Will zombies overrun England? Read Pride, Prejudice, & Zombies to find out!!!
The book actually constituted an interesting way of looking at Austens novel. It left the beautiful language that the original was written in and added a fun modern element, Zombies! Zombies answer certain puzzling questions: Why were those troops stationed near Hertfordshire? Why did Charlotte Lucas actually marry Mr. Collins? (She had recently been bitten by zombies and wanted a husband who could be counted on to behead herof course!) This work also included several etchings to go along with the updated version. All added to the story and some are included below! Truly worth the read!
