Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Quote:

At a neighborhood ball,  Elizabeth, Darcy, and Bingley come upon unmentionables feeding on some slaughtered servants. Says Mr. D:  ''I don't suppose...that you would give me the honour of dispensing of this unhappy business alone. I should never forgive myself if your gown were soiled.'' Miss Bennet  replies, ''The honour is all yours, Mr. Darcy.''

As Mr. G-S says, Mr. D ''cut the two zombies with  savage yet dignified movements. He then made quick work of beheading the slaughtered staff, upon which   Mr. Bingley politely vomited into his hands.'' O happy world — even though, in the end, ''the dead continued to claw their way through crypt and coffin alike, feasting  on British brains.''

I'm pretty excited about reading about love, life, and slaughtering hordes of the undead by the upper class in 19th century Britain.

Isn't it just a little early for April Fool's gimmicks?

Yes. That's why this is real, and not April Fool's.

First time I heard about it was a couple weeks ago on "Wait Wait Don't Tell, the NPR News Quiz!." This evening, I heard an interview with the author on NPR.

You can also purchase it on Amazon.com:

I know it's real. It's still just a little unbelievable.

I'll probably still order it though.

I heard about this awhile back. I'm pretty damn excited about it. I believer there is another film that's the same concept but with Predators. I forget what the title of it was..
