Inquiry: Seth Grahame-Smith: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

There are millions of ardent fans of “Regency Romances” and no author of the period is more beloved than Jane Austen. Just look at all the films made for the BBC and PBS of Austen’s novels. But a few people have always felt that these literary classics have lacked a certain “something”. Who would have believed that “something” was a large dollop of the walking dead? Tonight on Inquiry, we speak with columnist, writer SETH GRAHAME-SMITH about his latest novel, (amazingly co-authored with Jane Austen), PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES. Seth has taken this period comedy of manners and spiced it up a bit with zombie hordes, lots or martial arts, and, well, gore, but “period appropriate” gore mind you. Tune in and find out how Elizabeth Bennett fights ninjas and beheads masses of “unmentionables” all the while searching for romance in early 19th Century England.
