Do you have any idea how long it’s been since I read about the romantic exploits of Elizabeth Bennet and her gaggle of sisters (as told by Jane Austen)? Go ahead and guess…NO! Longer even than that. I have never read Pride and Prejudice. I watched part of the movie one time, but I was more concerned with Keira Knightley’s eternally pouty lips and sultry bedroom eyes. I understand that Ms. Austen’s work is considered a classic in the snobby cul de sac of the literary neighborhood, but I tend to hang out at the strip mall behind this conclave of brandy-snifting monocle-wearers. Specifically, at the comic book store, with a cup of gas station coffee in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
It should come as no surprise, then, that Quirk Classics’ masterpiece Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls is right up my alley. A more Romero-esque take on the Bennet girls’ younger days, PPZ DoD is a hilarious tale of Victorian England’s brush with the shambling horde. Martial mayhem (like, karate stuff), gripping tension, and yes, even romance, the prequel to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies should have a well deserved spot on your bookshelf alongside Max Brooks’ books.
