"Ultraviolent zombie mayhem" in classic fiction!

Some of you may be aware of the zombie craze that's sweeping the globe. Of course, zombie movies and zombie video games are nothing new. And for several years, "zombie swarms" have been organized by text message in large cities around the world, where revelers recreate what resembles a city-wide version of the movie "Night of the Living Dead." But how about this: a contemporary author has added zombie characters and plot elements to Jane Austen's classic, Pride & Prejudice. The resulting mashup is entitled: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Amazon.com's description promises gore: "The classic... romance - now with ultraviolent zombie mayhem."
