Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters
Look what just washed up on the tide of success following Pride and Prejudice and Zombies! A marvelous mash-up of Regency romance and sci-fi mayhem, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters is even more elaborate, twisted and fun than its predecessor. Expanding the original text of the beloved Jane Austen novel, writer Ben H. Winters populates the story with giant lobsters, rampaging octopi, two-headed sea serpents and other oceanic monstrosities.
The family Dashwood has lived in Sussex since before the Alteration, when the creatures of the sea inexplicably turned hateful to the race of man. Now the Dashwood sisters must take leave of their erstwhile home and journey to live on a mysterious island full of savage creatures and dark secrets. While sensible Elinor falls in love with scholarly Edward Ferrars, her romantic sister Marianne is courted by two men: the dashing Willoughby...and Colonel Brandon, who suffers from a hideous affliction: long, writhing tentacles that fall like living hair from the sides of his face.
Can the Dashwood sisters triumph over meddlesome matriarchs and unscrupulous rogues to find true love? Or will they fall prey to the jaws that are forever snapping at their heels?

Although not as good as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, this book was still a great read and put a twist on Jane Austens classic.
