Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After
by Steve Hockensmith
This is a new tale about classic characters. It does not endear me to parallel novels. While it does open with our beloved couple being married, Darcy is bitten by a zombie and Elizabeth leaves to seek a cure. I enjoyed seeing some minor characters developed, but disappointed that our heroes are mostly apart. The zombies, favorites of mine in earlier books, could be cars in a demolition derby for how little I now care. Our heroes have suffered a similar fate, becoming superhuman warriors. This lackluster sequel has not diminished my delight in the mash-up genre. It has rather reinforced my antipathy for parallel novels. -- reviewed by Allison H.-F. - a customer of the Bennett Martin Public Library
