Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance - Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem!

I just had to put this up. The Zombie trend is growing a bit tired, but rewriting a Regency-era romance to include "ultraviolent zombie mayhem" is genius. It's the old trick of hiding the pill in the pudding. I would read any classic if they infused it with a Zombie sub-plot.

The design is elegantly reserved. It has the ubiquitous Penguin Classics style, but the splotches of zombie blood catch the eye. The interior includes illustrations done in the style of the original illustrations by C. E. Broc. And they are set to release a deluxe version, with 15 additional oil-paintings and a cloth bound hardcover. This is not publishing; this is book-as-art.

while i personally despise the zombie thing-- the City Paper here in Charleston has a zombie fetish that i do not understand at all (bc there is nothing to understand about it)-- this cover is pretty much exactly what it has to be. It just couldn't be any other way! Love how "and Zombies" is simply in the same typeface instead of sensationalized and slapped on top.
It could definitely do without the extra blood splattered around her waist. Looks flatly rendered, and defeats the downplayed tone of the title and faux-pose and background.

Doogie got back to me with some info on the forthcoming "Deluxe Edition".

"For the cover I took an old painting of a regency era woman and then painted the zombie parts on top. The new deluxe edition is being illustrated by Roberto Parada. His paintings look fantastic. The deluxe edition image is just a digital comp, not a photo of the printed book... The printed book will have a very different look, because it’s casebound with a faux leather material, the black and gold are debossed foil stamping, etc. Frankly, I don’t like it as much as the original cover, but I think the actual book will feel nice in your hands."

The cover drew me in initially to the concept of this book long before it was released. It's quite captivating and witty. More witty than the actually book, if you ask me.

I think if the publishers had been privy to the pending success of the project, perhaps they could have upped the design budget and Mr. Horner could have hired a veteran painter to add some heightened realism to the skeletal features. Seems like it could be a bit more refined and sharper, and possibly a lot less Shopped looking (the blood!). But it's very slick as is.

I agree, the original cover is heads and shoulders above the hyper-garish, heavy on the stock borders, "deluxe" edition.

Please don't forgetsuna dumankaya that N-europe is run 'voluntarily' and so sometimes setbacks and delays occur not because we want them to but due to other real-life happenings beyond our reasonable control; I'm not trying to hide behind excuses but merely attempting to give you all a better insight into why these instances occur because sometimes it seems like it's all too easy for people to forget just how much of their own time people put into this website.
