Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to become graphic novel

Del Rey Books has announced it will publish “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Graphic Novel.”  It will be based on the New York Times bestselling book by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith.

The book takes Jane Austen’s classic novel and adds “zombie mayhem.”

“Not only is it exciting for Del Rey to be a part of this year’s most remarkable publishing phenomenon, ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Graphic Novel’ is just flat-out one of the coolest books on our list ever,” said Del Rey editor Tricia Narwani.

The graphic novel will be adapted by Tony Lee, recent writer of “Doctor Who” comics, and Cliff Richards, artist of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” comics.

“Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Graphic Novel”  is scheduled for January release.
