Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls
by Jane Austen and Steve Hockensmith
Genre: Re-mixed classic
Rating: 5

Dawn of the Dreadfuls is hilarious! Hockensmith has captured Austen’s original characters and brought them back (from the dead) in a gruesomely wonderful prequel to Pride and Prejudice. This Zombiefied quirky classic will have you snickering and giggling like Lydia and Kitty. (By the way, I’m officially adding Zombiefied to my dictionary. It’s an awesome word.)

The writing was so much like Austen’s that I began to wonder if it really wasn’t by her. It was eloquent and witty and almost audible in that you could hear the accents of the speakers and the narrator.

Content: an occasional dirty word (I think d--- was used like, twice in the whole book?), very few sexual references. But remember that we’re talking about dead brain-eating zombies here, people. It’s not for the faint of heart (or stomach) and it’s not for kids.

Recommendation: 12+ If you love the paranormal, horror, or anything Jane Austen, this one is for you.

Dawn of the Dreadfuls will be published on March 24th 2010.

classic Stories are timeless
As good as an audio book delivered to your phone
This is a great podcast, classic literature has stood the test of time for a reason. I found Captain Blood because of him, and it's now one of my favorite books of all time. He tends to select toward the horror side of things, but you can always find something you are interested in listening to. From Sherlock Holmes to Peter Pan. Herland to Pride and Prejudice. and lots of small stories in between.

Must read!
This novel is as heartbreaking as it is hopeful. It deftly jumps around time and narrators more successfully than many others, even while giving you a complete, linear-feeling storyline. Amazingly, this book makes you love and miss your parents, idealize and exemplify your children, and then swap everything around all within a paragraph. You will feel the first love, the uncertainty, the pride and the camaraderie with each and every character. A definite must-read!
