I Just Watched Elizabeth Bennet Chop Off A Zombie’s Head

By Allie Townsend | @Allie_Townsend | March 15, 2010 | +

The book trailer for the upcoming Austen-zombie prequel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls dropped today in all it’s gory brilliance.

Here, we get a first look at the Bennet girls in training to kick ass and defend their home from the undead, plus a montage of a few great zombie slays. Though book trailers can be questionable, this one had me at Elizabeth-severs-head-and-lifts-it-in-triumph. (See the 1:15 mark)

Published by Quirk Classics, DoD follows monster mash-ups Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. Another title, Android Karenina will drop this summer. PPZ: Dawn of the Dreadfuls hits book stores March 23.
