Zombies in Austen?

I can't tell if this is a gag, or a real book....so it's here, instead of on my book blog...

From Chronicle Books, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies:



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.
Uh...Okay.

I feel gullible tonight. Maybe I should just go to bed. This will all make sense in the morning.

Right?

Well, whether or not it's really a book, it's still pretty damn funny. I tempted to pre-order.

Pretty damn funny is right...which is why I couldn't resist it!

Let me know if you do pre-order it! :-)

So, I got my copy, but haven't had time to read it yet...

Classic!!

I'm tempted to use an "OMG!!" You seriously have a copy? Please read and blog about...

Okay, I still haven't read it. It's sitting on my kitchen counter.

But speaking of Jane Austen, you should have a look at this post: Pride and Twitterverse. It's entirely free of zombies, though.
