The New York Times best seller is now a major motion picture starring Lily James and Sam Riley, with Matt Smith, Charles Dance, and Lena Headey. Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is an audacious retelling of English literature’s most enduring novel. This expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem begins when a mysterious plague falls 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. It’s the perfect read for literature lovers, zombie fans, and anyone who loves a reanimated Austen.

"This book has everything! Such a fun twist on a literary piece. It’s so easy to read and a comical fun rendition! "

Victoria

"This story was a delight to read. To enjoy Jane Austen’s iconic characters and their wit plus the new situations developed by the zombies. I would say that rather than a retelling, this is like an alternate universe."

"I suffered through watching the BBC mini-series with my wife. I read this to cleanse my palate and I honestly don't regret it. This is a great book that builds off the original content in a highly amusing way."

"Okay, this was really silly, but the idea of Lady Catherine as a ninja warrior cracked me up. Best line: Jane's letter home from Netherfield (she stays over due to a zombie attck, not a cold) "Aside from a few bruises and a minor stab wound, there is nothing much the matter with me".<br/><br/>If you love P&P but have a senseof humor about it, give this a shot."
