Fictional Zombies

My favourite part of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? The Readers' Discussion question at the back.

"Some scholars believe that the zombies were a last-minute addtion to the novel, requested by the publisher in a shameless attempt to boost sales. Others argue that the hordes of living dead are integral to Jane Austen's plot and social commentary. What do you think? Can you imagine what the novel would be like without the violent zombie mayhem?"

Ha!
