Miss Austen, Meet Mr. Verne: Sense & Sensibility and Sea Monsters
Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 04:00PM
See this book listing on AmazonMonsters (OK, mostly vampires) have been all over every kind of screen lately. Jane Austen fans, meanwhile, have had four new TV adaptations and the unintentionally hilarious Lost in Austen to pick over. Capitalizing on a likely overlap between these audiences, Quirk Books (famed for the "Worst Case Scenario" series) released Pride and Prejudice and Zombies -- "restoring the lost scenes of Zombie mayhem" that somehow got edited out back in the early 1800s. No vampires, because that would be too obvious.Admittedly under pressure from the (well-founded) threat of imitators, Worst Case Scenario author Ben H. Winters was tapped to come up with a follow-up, and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters is the result. Still no vampires, because that would have been too obvious.
