Pride and Prejudice (And Zombies)

A New York Times bestseller, this book is based off of Jane Austens classic, but with a new twist. Elizabeth Bennet is still the girl the literature world knows and loves, but now she's fighting the undead as they rise from their graves, thanks to a mysterious plague. She's the best swords-woman there is in the quiet English village of Meryton, and is determined to erase the zombie menace from her home. Her sisters fight alongside her, and nothing can waver her concentration from annihilating the living dead - until the arrogant better-fighter-than-thou Mr. Darcy arrives. Following his arrival, plenty of civilized, mannerly sparring between the two, and even more violent sparring against the zombies on the field of battle. Pride and Prejudice (And Zombies) turns a masterpiece of world literature into a book you'd actually want to read.
