The Critics Love
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies 
!The Critics Love Steve Hockensmith!
“A delectable literary mash-up . . . might we hope for a sequel?
Grade A-.”—Lisa Schwarzbaum,
Entertainment Weekly
“Has there ever been a work of literature that couldn’t be improvedby adding zombies?”—Lev Grossman,
Time
“Such is the accomplishment of 
Prideand Prejudiceand Zombies
thatafter reveling in its timeless intrigue, it’s dif 
cult to remember howAusten’s novel got along without the undead. What begins as a gim-mick ends with renewed appreciation of the indomitable appeal of Austen’s language, characters, and situations. Grade A.”
TheA.V. Club
“Hilarious!”
Entertainment Weekly
“Uproarious!”
Publisher’s Weekly
“Will keep the reader snorting with laughter!”
 Library Journal
“Dazzles the reader with colorful language, vivid images, and hilari-ous asides.”
 Boston Globe
“Quirky, exciting, and at times surprisingly poignant.”

rst blush with romance goes tragically awry. Written by acclaimed novelist (and EdgarAward nominee) Steve Hockensmith,

We can’t reveal the title of the next Quirk Classic, but we’re happy to share what the title
isn’t 
. It is not
TheCannibals of Narnia
. It is not
 Jurassic Mans
fi 
eld Park 
. And it has nothing to do with zombies, sea mon-sters, or Jane Austen.Instead, we’re shifting our attention to a new author—a literary legend whose work has been admiredby everyone from Vladimir Nabokov and Ernest Hemingway to Salman Rushdie and (hint, hint) OprahWinfrey. Purists will be offended. Horror and science-
ction fans will be enthralled. Some of the mostbeloved characters in Western literature will face brave new worlds of monsters and mayhem. And allwill be revealed in the very near future!
BEN H. WINTERS
is coauthor of 
Senseand Sensibility and Sea Monsters
, which was hailed by
TheOnion A.V. Club
as a “sheer delight” and by
 Library Journal
as “strangely entertaining, like a Weird Al version of an opera aria.” Mr. Winters lives in Brooklyn.

“Jane Austen isn’t for everyone. Neither are zombies.But combine the two and the only question is, Why didn’t anyone think of this before?”
