Book Pick: Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters

Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters
Author: Jane Austen and Ben H. Winters
Publisher: Quirk
Price: $16.95 (Paperback)

To follow up its literary mashup smash hit Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Quirk Books and author Ben H. Winters return to the repertoire of Jane Austen, this time tweaking Sense and Sensibility with the addition of deadly sea monsters. The tale’s skeleton and language remain intact, observing the Dashwood sisters and their love pursuits in the English countryside. But the parody book takes an inventively riotous turn when exaggerated mutant creatures emerge from the water to terrorize the women (and their chances at snatching a mate).
