from Raincoast Books:
Dear readers,
The dreadfuls (mind your manners, now, and don’t call them zombies) have returned in Quirk Classics’ latest creation, a fresh novel (i.e., not a mash-up) starring some of Jane Austen’s characters.
On March 3, bloggers across the continent reviewed Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls (prequel to the über successful PPZ) and said it’s “hilarious and witty,” “snappy and superbly sarcastic” and “very entertaining!” How do you like them brains?
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls
by Steve Hockensmith
Quirk Books
ISBN 978-1-59474-454-9
$17.95 paperback
With more than one million copies in print, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was the surprise publishing phenomenon of 2009. A best seller on three continents, PPZ has been translated into 21 languages and optioned to become a major motion picture. In this terrifying and hilarious prequel, we witness the genesis of the zombie plague in early-nineteenth-century England. We watch Elizabeth Bennet evolve from a naive young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. We laugh as she begins her first clumsy training with nunchuks and katana swords and cry when her first blush with romance goes tragically awry.
Written by acclaimed novelist (and Edgar Award nominee) Steve Hockensmith, Dawn of the Dreadfuls invites Austen fans to step back into Regency England, Land of the Undead!
