Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve HockensmithThis prequel to Seth Grahame-Smith's bestselling Pride and Prejudice and Zombies reveals how Elizabeth Bennet and her sisters came to be such skilled zombie slayers. The story begins several years before Mr. Bingley moves to Netherfield, when undead "unmentionables" begin popping up in the quiet Hertfordshire town of Meryton. Mr. Bennet, the girls' curmudgeonly father -- a retired special operative who thought his zombie-hunting days were over -- converts their greenhouse into a dojo and trains his daughters in combat. If you're a fan of literary monster mash-ups, especially those based on Jane Austen's novels, author Steve Hockensmith's Dawn of the Dreadfuls is a must-read.
