In 2009, readers gobbled up the New York Times and international best seller Pride and Prejudice and Zombies faster than zombies eat brains. Yet, in the midst of their ravenous reading, audiences began asking questions: Where did the zombies come from? How did Elizabeth Bennet develop such quality martial-arts skills? Thus, a prequel! Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls (Quirk Books; March 23, 2010; $12.95), by Steve Hockensmith, is an all-new work of fiction inspired by Jane Austen’s beloved characters that gives readers the answers they’ve been looking for—and more. As this hilariously horrifying prequel begins, the Bennet sisters are enjoying a peaceful life in the English countryside. They idle away the days reading, sewing, practicing instruments, and daydreaming about future husbands—until, suddenly, corpses are springing from the earth. As bodies pile up, Elizabeth Bennet takes charge and transforms into the zombie-slaying machine readers know and love from Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls, the third Quirk Classic, though not based on an original Austen work, stays true to the characters the authoress created but allows Hockensmith to fully demonstrate his creative genius. Complete with fifteen illustrations from artist Patrick Arrasmith, it is sure to delight both devoted Quirk Classics readers and those new to the series. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Steve Hockensmith is an award-winning short-story writer, novelist, and reporter.
