Return to the Land of the Dead, Regency England!

In Dawn of the Dreadfuls, a gripping prequel that takes place four years before the horrifying events of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, readers will see the birth of a heroine. The Bennet sisters are living a tranquil existence in the English countryside at the beginning of our narrative. They pass the time reading, gardening, and thinking about their future spouses until a bizarre and horrifically disastrous burial at the local church.

Unexpectedly, bodies start emerging from the soft ground, and only one family is able to stop them. We see Elizabeth Bennet's transformation from a youthful, innocent adolescent into a vicious slayer of the undead as the corpses mount. Two men compete for her affections along the way: Master Hawksworth, the strong warrior who trains her to kill, and Dr. Keckilpenny, the intelligent man who uses science rather than brute force to subdue the walking dead. Which guy will take home Elizabeth's heart? Or will legions of hungry zombies feast on their hearts? Pride & Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls has it all—romance, adventure, humor, and an army of shambling corpses—to make Jane Austen roll over in her grave, and maybe even encourage her to come crawling out!
