Sequels, prequels. It's all the same to me. None of these zombie, vampire, and monster spin-offs remotely connect me to the reasons why I read and adore Jane Austen. Despite my off beat sense of humor, I find these books slightly repellent, like seven day old meat. Quirk books has announced yet another book in its Jane Austen monster series: Dawn of the Dreadfuls. What I find truly dreadful is that this time there can be absolutely no connection to Jane's wonderful language or plot. After I read the announcement in the above link, I felt a shiver of horror. When the book comes 'round, I think I'll pass.
What say you?
