Dawn of the Dreadfuls

We all have heard the great tales of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy slaying the "unmentionables" across their country landscape. But how did this happen? When did these figures become more than the heroes Jane Austen painted? You're about to find out.

Before our tale, England was at peace. The dreaded zombies--or Zed Word--had been defeated long ago and the country was safe again. But no more! The dead are walking again, and the Bennet sisters must take arms.

Like a real Jane Austen tale, this has romance and social struggles, but set against a gory time. While in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the author had to actual text to aid in creating this mash-up, here he stands alone. And he stands strong. If I didn't know better, I would wonder when Jane Austen rose from the grave herself! This book mixes together the familiar characters from the original book, with a new cast.

My favorite character is the "charming" Mr. Smith. Who is this man? Not a man, but a zombie. While the Bennet sisters learn how to kill the undead, others are attempting to understand the dreadfuls with SCIENCE! Mr. Smith is a zombie who is being taught how to be a man again. Does he regain his British composure? Or does he feast on the brains of ball goers? Find out on March 23!
