Reviewed by Monica *This is a mash-up, meaning that Graham-Smith used the actual text of Jane Austin's novel (she is listed as a co-author) and inserted his zombie story along the original storyline. “Thank you, sir, but I am perfectly content being the bride of death. We must not all expect Jane’s good fortune.” Pg 105 *The trouble with most horror stories, whether print or film, is poor writing. Someone may have a great concept, but setting that down on paper is too difficult, or that someone can create some good scenes or segments, but stringing them together results in a too thin or too silly creation. Graham-Smith has deftly solved this problem by using as his foundation one of English languages greatest novels. *Fans of Austin will be pleased to find the Bennets and Mr. Darcy in all their early nineteenth century propriety, only now the girls have been trained Kill Bill fashion and hunt the undead. The Zombies during this time love brains. The Bennet sisters are constantly having to defend themselves from the unmentionables. *This book is a perfect retelling of Pride and Prejudice with the addition of zombies, samurai swords, beheadings, and Braaaaains!!!! This book is loaded with humor and there are even pictures. My favorite is when Elizabeth gets pissed with Mr. Darcy after his proposal and roundhouse kicks him into the fireplace mantle!! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! Priceless!!! *If you love Pride and Prejudice, have a great sense of humor, and LOVE zombies, This is a Must Read!!!
