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.)
