Um...I'm not so sure how I feel about this

Apparently the latest Jane Austen craze is to have zombies attack the Bennet women. As if finding a suitable husband and practicing such useful skills as the pianoforte and needle work weren't stressful enough for a woman wearing several layers and a whale bone corset.

The book, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is due out in April.

And if we're lucky (note sarcasm), I'm sure we'll see Mr. Darcy slaying the zombies while riding through what was once the green peaceful meadows now drenched in blood from the mere commoners unable to flee their undead fate on the big screen.
