When I first heard that this book existed, I was ecstatic. I had recently finished reading the original Pride and Prejudice, and marveled at the genius of whoever thought up the idea of integrating violent zombie mayhem into the novel. As I was soon to find out, this genius goes by the name of Seth Grahame-Smith and, to my knowledge, he had never previously published anything in his life. Next time I was in Borders, I picked up a copy in the Humor section, and just the cover art got me laughing!

A girl in typical 19th century getup, with all the frills and lace, plus rotting flesh and lots of blood. And it was all uphill from there. This book is HILARIOUS. I mean, out of all the books in the world, I can’t think of one that would be made funnier by the presence of zombies the way that Pride and Prejudice is. It’s a 19th century chick flick, for goodness sake (more…)
