Slithering Sequels!

Quirk Books has announced its eagerly-anticipated follow-up to the smash hit mashup Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance -- Now With Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem! The new book will also combine Jane Austen's original novel with Seth Grahame-Smith's monstrous additions.

The new book is... wait for it... Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. Publishers Weekly outlines the plot thus: "In the Quirk update, the Dashwood sisters, evicted from their childhood home by their conniving stepmother, land on a mysterious island full of man-eating sea creatures, instead of a nearby, downgraded, English cottage." (The full PW article is here.)

S&S&SM will be available September 15.--David E
