It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a horde of the undead in possession of insatiable hunger for the brains of the living must be in want of a Jane Austin remix.(via)
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies covers the same ground as the original masterpiece - only that ground is full freshly-vacated graves. The "strange plague" has been the scourge of England for years. London has been walled off, and the countryside is littered with zombies (politely referred to as "unmentionables"). Attacks occur on a daily basis - overwhelming the conventional army, and leaving England's defense to a small band of highly-trained hunter/killers.The Bennet sisters have spent their lives training in the deadly arts, and are considered among the finest slayers of the undead. None is more feared or admired than the lovely Elizabeth - a serious girl who has no time for silly things like love. But when Elizabeth meets a haughty fellow slayer named Darcy, she discovers there's one thing she can't defend against...Cupid's arrow (cue sweeping romantic music).

You know, I've never read "Pride and Prejudice" but this may be the perfect chance to (plus it'll be "enhanced" by the addition of zombies.)
Right up my alley. Thanks for the post.
