About this listen

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains." So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem.

As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton - and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers - and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry?

Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to hear.

This Heirloom Edition of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies includes a new preface by the author, an afterword by Dr. Allen Grove, professor of English literature at Alfred University, and new scenes of gratuitous zombie mayhem.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"[Seth Grahame-Smith] has taken the merry world established by a 19th-century literary lady, added a scourge of reanimated corpses, and created...well, a pop cultural phenomenon, certainly, and one that has stirred up a lot of excitement. But the greater achievement of the book may lie in the satisfying desire it awakens to read the remix and the original side by side." ( Entertainment Weekly)

I don't usually write reviews but I have to make an exception for this fabulous audible book. Not only is it a fantastic take on a classic story it was read so wonderfully that I could hardly wait to get in my car to listen to it. As soon as it finished I wanted to listen to it all over again! I can't recommend this highly enough.

Absolutely Brilliant!

Enjoyable spin on a classic but I can help think eveyone's making money off a real classics back due to the copyright laws for books of that age. However some will enjoy this as a taboo version of Pride'.
It's not 'The Breathing Dead' a zombie tale audiobook or 'wwz' but it is worth a listen.

Nice spin on a classic but...

I came to the book with good expectations and was mostly pleased. The imitation of Austen’s style in the new sections is pretty good. Both the old and new parts of this book are funny and witty and the two blend together very well. The emotional scenes are still affecting and the listener still wants the protagonists to succeed. I did find the slightly cruel new edge to Elizabeth’s character a bit off putting, such as when she kills living people like lady Catherine’s ninjas, but the hilarity of that concept itself kept me listening and I tried to take it less seriously. I do wish Grahame-Smith could have found more words to describe the are that contains China and Japan rather than just relying on ‘the Orient.’
Kellgren did a magnificent job of narrating the two styles. Her lovely refined pronunciation was very well suited to Austen’s prose and she delightfully relished in the horrifying descriptions and gore. She handled distinguishing characters voices very well although some of her male voices were very similar and this led to mild confusion.
Overall it was gory fun with added emotional investment

Surprisingly gentle, but delightfully wicked

Contrast of gentile English literature and zombies is delightfully satirical and well constructed but performance is often childish and over the top. Would definitely recommend but be prepared to suffer through some exaggerated and sometimes even insensitive voice acting (you'll understand when you hear it)

Entertaining story but lacking performance
