The letters thread is now closed.
  • she's just that kind of badass

    Not only would she behead him in time, but she'd do it politely and without mussing her dress.

  • Mr Darcy gave me his hand!

    I can't wait to read this.

  • At least it'll be funny!

    Which is something that a lot of people have forgotten about Jane Austen's novels, to judge from that awful Keira movie. These books were delicately mannered satires, not dramatic romances. It sounds like the author the knows enough about Austen's work to get that.

    As President Swain would say, "Good for him!"

  • hopefully they will make this into a movie

    and then I can make my mister watch a period piece AND get his zombie fix at the same time...

  • Elizabeth Bennett in blood-curdling zombie action!

    This has just gone on my "Must Read" list.

    What's next?

    Catherine Morland battles vampires and finds her own very special undead boyfriend in "Twilight at Northanger Abbey"?

    Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret Dashwood investigate a series of mysterious (and very gory) murders while their friend Col. Brandon has a sinister secret in "Sense and Sensibility and Werewolves"?

    Fanny Price stumbles upon more than she bargained for in her uncle's mysterious basement laboratory in "Mansfield Park, Or The Modern Prometheus"?

    Emma Woodhouse and Mr. Knightley find adventure, danger, and romance in "Emma and the Curse of the Mummy's Tomb"?

    Hmmm, maybe I should write some of these myself.

  • oh dear

    Some characters, such as Rev. Collins and Lady Catherine de Borroughs (and most definitely her colorless daughter), already seemed to be zombies. Though perhaps not of the same sort.

    I suspect, if the social commentary is as bone-crunching as the, er, zombie action, Jane Austen would be mightily amused.
