From the “Uhm, Yes.” shelf, via the unparalleled Libba Bray:
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies — Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the original text of Jane Austen’s beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Complete with 20 illustrations in the style of C. E. Brock (the original illustrator of Pride and Prejudice), this insanely funny expanded edition will introduce Jane Austen’s classic novel to new legions of fans.
Available April 2009. Preorder it. NOW. Aunt Jane would want you to.

LOL That’s awesome!! I am totally forwarding this entry to my friend Becca since it kinda goes along the lines of what we want to write someday, which is a book full of deleted scenes from classic novels.
Anyway, just wanted to also thank you for becoming a follower to my blog! I recently got your book in the mail and it’ll be featured in the next In My Mailbox vlog! :)

LOL, that sounds like something my hubby would read–I can’t get him to read the original :P But if there are zombies in it….

BookChic: Deleted scenes from classic novels + the undead = bestseller. (And I’m so happy you have The Season! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Dara: Hey…however we can get more men thinking about how they can be more like Darcy…I’ll take it!
