Pride & Prejudice & Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls

YAY! It's here!

Being a HUGE fan of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies when it came out last year, I couldn't wait until PPZ: Dawn of the Dreadfuls came out. So, of course I finagled my way to get an early copy and have since devoured it. You will not be disappointed. It gives us the backstory of how Elizabeth became the bad-ass zombie slayer from PPZ and elaborates more on the familial relationships that are somewhat kept in the background in the original PP (hello, can Mr. Bennet want to kill Mrs. Bennet anymore!?!). It's the most polite and mannerly bloodbath that you'll ever read. The fun part is that it still remains faithful to the reference text and doesn't detract from the basic essence of the story. It's witty and smart and a delight to read, as long as you keep your tongue firmly in your cheek.

It's a great addition to the Quirk Classics canon and I can't wait for the next installment of the trilogy, as well as the next classic, Android Karenina. Don't miss this!

Here is some fun for you readers. Enter this contest by March 11 through Quirk Classics to win a great PPZ prize stash including a copy of the book, PPZ notecards, PPZ journal, and more. Simply go to the link below and enter my blog. Happy Hunting!
