Synopsis: Readers will witness the birth of a heroine in Dawn of the
Dreadfuls—a thrilling prequel set four years before the horrific events of
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. As our story opens, the Bennet sisters are
enjoying a peaceful life in the English countryside. They idle away the days
reading, gardening, and daydreaming about future husbands—until a funeral at
the local parish goes strangely and horribly awry. Suddenly corpses are springing from the soft earth—and only
one family can stop them. As the bodies pile up, we watch Elizabeth Bennet
evolve from a naive young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. Along
the way, two men vie for her affections: Master Hawksworth is the powerful
warrior who trains her to kill, while thoughtful Dr. Keckilpenny seeks to
conquer the walking dead using science instead of strength. Will either man win
the prize of Elizabeth’s heart? Or will their hearts be feasted upon by hordes
of marauding zombies? Complete with romance, action, comedy, and an army of
shambling corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls will
have Jane Austen rolling in her grave—and just might inspire her to crawl out
of it! (from the online description)Review: This is a dreadful book (pun intended). Seriously. It's like the author never read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The discrepancies are too numerous to mention. Huge plot holes, the ridiculous attempt at a romantic triangle, complete disregarded for the original work and Austen’s style of writing. It’s a travesty. Not worth reading at all, as it’s certainly cannot be cannon. Worthless book.
