Pride and Prejudice and… Zombies?!

I was browsing through Amazon today looking for books and I came across this one… Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance – Now With Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem.  I don’t know what possessed me, but I clicked that little “Add to shopping cart” button and bought it.  I have a thing for the Regency period and am a HUGE Jane Austen fan, so when I first saw the book I was actually a little bit appalled that someone would take Pride and Prejudice and turn it into a horror story.  But my curiosity got the better of me.  Anyway, I’m looking forward to reading it.  If you’ve read it, did you like it?

Here’s the description in case you’re interested:

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.” So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. 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. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you’d actually want to read.

I’ll let you know what I think of it once I’ve read it!
