Has anyone else heard about this? It's apparently coming out in a few months. In the words of one of my friends, "Who woke up one morning and thought 'Wow, I know what the world needs, Pride and Prejudice with Zombies?'"

Sounds like an ultimate in parodies. Love Jane Austen, but I am not much into zombies.

[Darcy]

What a fantastic mix--incredibly polite upper-class Regency families and zombies. Really, you can't go wrong.

[Bonnie]

My friend just showed me this and I came here to see if anyone else had heard of it. I...I don't know how to feel.

[Luiza]

Whoa... I think I'm equally torn between apprehension and curiosity...

[Shannon]

yes, apprehension and curiosity completely summarizes the conflict. it seems like it could be wholly entertaining, but it just seems so.... blasphemous? not really sure, but i will definitely have to check it out at some point.

[Jessica]

Have to admit... I'm appalled.

[Dusty]

Oh, where is your sense of adventure? I think this will be quite interesting. I'm not really much of a zombie person, but I think it is going to be amazing to see Elizabeth kick some zombie butt! Here is some further information about the book.

Also, this was an answer to the Bluff the Listener game on Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me on NPR a couple of weeks ago.

sounds like a cosmic catastrophe to me!
