No great surprise that this is from the same people who brought us Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, this a great new tale that combines, romance, heartbreak and some tentacled mayhem thrown in for good measure. The classic Jane Austen novel is expanded to include new scenes with rampaging octopus’, giant lobsters, two-headed sea serpents and many other biological monstrosities. The Dashwood sisters have been evicted and shipped off to a mysterious island inhabited by savage creatures and hiding many dark secrets. The sisters do their courting with both dashing heroes and man-monsters, but will they all find true love or fall prey to those tentacles snapping at their heels? Fun and with firmly tongue is cheek, Austen fans cannot take offense at this.
