Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls by Steve Hockensmith

4.0

This prequel to the popular spoof, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies explains the beginning of the zombie outbreak detailed in P & P & Z as well as the Bennett Sisters start on the path to becoming masters of the deadly arts. The foreshadowing to P & P & Z is great, and the explanation of why Netherfield is vacant is certainly not what Jane Austen would have conceived of. Since you know the events that follow, not a lot is not surprising, but it's still a lot of fun to read, and the few unexpected details are well worth it.

I joke around that I'll read anything with zombies in. But since I read this and World War Z at the same time, I see that while I'll read anything with zombies, the zombie books I really love are the ones with a sense of humor like this and other Quirk Classics. If you fall into the weird demographic like me where you love classics such as Pride and Prejudice and funny horror (think Shaun of the Dead), then you will love P & P & Z and its prequel, Dawn of the Dreadfuls
