Heart-pounding and hair-raising, the final chapter in the PPZ trilogy is now available.

(NAPSI)- "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” and its prequel, “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls” transformed sharp-witted heroine Elizabeth Bennet into a sword-wielding zombie slayer on a mission to save the English countryside.

These action-packed novels captured the imaginations of readers around the world and introduced Jane Austen’s classic characters to a new audience. Now, the PPZ trilogy comes to a thrilling conclusion in “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After” by Steve Hockensmith.

The Story

Hair-raising and heart-pounding, “Dreadfully Ever After” opens with newly married protagonists Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy defending their village from an army of flesh-eating “unmentionables.” Of course, the ever-meddling Mrs. Bennet is anxious for them to settle down and produce an heir—but everything changes when poor Fitzwilliam is nipped by a dreadful.

An apothecary is summoned and his prognosis is unfortunate: Within days, Mr. Darcy is destined to transform into a zombie. Elizabeth is distraught. She knows the appropriate course of action is to promptly behead her husband (and then burn the corpse, just to be safe). When she hears rumors of a miracle antidote being developed in London, however, she realizes there may be one last chance to save the life of her true love—and for everyone to live happily ever after. Complete with 15 dazzling illustrations, this final chapter in the series will delight fans of Jane Austen, horror, and literary mash-ups.
