Pride and Prejudice... now with more zombies!
For the Goddess and her Jane Austen book club friends, may I tempt you into something a little... different?
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies -- Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the original text of Jane Austen's beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action. 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. Complete with 20 illustrations in the style of C. E. Brock (the original illustrator of Pride and Prejudice), this insanely funny expanded edition will introduce Jane Austen's classic novel to new legions of fans.

I must add this to the book club. Since we always watch a movie to go along with each book, I'm thinking... Army of Darkness?
I also love the idea of Lydia as a zombie. She annoys me to no end and I'd love to slice her head off.
This book sounds GREAT! ha!
