Video preview: Sense and Sensibility and Monsters

Video preview: \<i\>Sense and Sensibility and Monsters\<\/i\>

Did you love Pride and Prejudice and Zombies—the hit mashup novel of Regency manners and bloody mayhem, soon to be a major motion picture? Then you'll love the follow-up, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, by Jane Austen and Ben H. Winters; see a video preview after the jump.

Here's how publisher Quirk Books describes the new book, due on Sept. 15:

From Quirk Books—publisher of the New York Times best seller Pride and Prejudice and Zombies—comes a new tale of romance, heartbreak and tentacled mayhem! Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters expands the original text of Jane Austen's beloved novel with all-new scenes of giant lobsters, rampaging octopi, two-headed sea serpents, swashbuckling pirates and other seaworthy creatures. ...

With Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, Quirk Classics has also developed a new Austen-to-monster ratio. Instead of featuring 85 percent of Austen's work and 15 percent new text, as in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters features 60 percent Austen and 40 percent additional monster chaos! Most importantly, this new Quirk Classic stays true to Austen's original novel ...

We call that a bargain at any price.
