‘Pride + Prejudice + Zombies’: A Literary Mash up in Which Darcy and Lizzy (*gasp!*) Fight Zombies
I’m over on Silver Petticoat today chatting up the Pride + Prejudice + Zombies book, a novel that is recently adapted as a major motion picture. With Lily James and Sam Riley, the film sounds like it’ll be a fun time sure to entertain those of us who like a fun adventure.

For those who like contemporary films, Warm Bodies is also an adorable rom-com involving zombies.

I loved this movie! I haven't read the book though. I've been meaning to!
ME TOO!! The movie is so much fun – and for the most part, the book is equally so. :)
Pride & Prejudice is my favorite book but I’ve never read this spinoff.
