![]() ![]() To my chagrin, these random zombie awakenings develop into throngs of rampaging cannibalistic dead. In contrast to the movies, the first two zombies to appear in Dawn of the Dreadful are known to our heroes, the Bennets, and so everyone is thrown immediately into emotional chaos. We want the newly infected to live yet we know their salvation will mean the community’s damnation. This plays havoc with our emotions, as a kitten toys with a ball of yarn. Then we experience the horror of seeing beloved characters turn into monsters. In the movies, zombies are often nameless until one of the heroes is bitten. Yet if she were around today, she might have written Dawn of the Dreadfuls. With good reason, for Austen never wrote a prequel. Jane Austen be gone! Astute readers will notice the absence of Jane Austen’s name from the byline of second book in the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies trilogy. ![]()
