Journey Back to Regency England -- Land of the Undead!
Readers will witness the birth of a heroine in Dawn of the
Dreadfuls -- a thrilling prequel set four years before the
horrific events of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. As our
story opens, the Bennet sisters are enjoying a peaceful life in the
English countryside. They idle away the days reading, gardening, and
daydreaming about future husbands -- until a funeral at the local
parish goes strangely and horribly awry.
Suddenly corpses are springing from the soft earth -- and only one
family can stop them. As the bodies pile up, we watch Elizabeth Bennet
evolve from a naive young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead.
Along the way, two men vie for her affections: Master Hawksworth is the
powerful warrior who trains her to kill, while thoughtful Dr.
Keckilpenny seeks to conquer the walking dead using science instead of
strength. Will either man win the prize of Elizabeth's heart? Complete
with romance, action, comedy, and an army of shambling corpses, Pride
and
Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls will have Jane
Austen rolling in her grave -- and just might inspire her to crawl out
of it!
