Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / Seth Grahame-Smith / 319 pages / November Challenge Zombies

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms Jane Austin's beloved classic into a comedy of manners and mayhem.  Young Elizabeth Bennett is trained to be a zombie slayer and is well-renowned for her skill.  She is distracted from her craft by the arrival of Mr. Darcy, who is haughty, arrogant, and, in light of Elizabeth's perceptions of his actions, totally reprehensible.  "Complete with romance, heartbreak, sword fights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to listen to."  I would prefer the original or Mr. Hockensmith's prequel and sequel.
