Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls

Readers will witness the birth of a heroine in Dawn of the Dreadfuls-a thrilling prequel set four years before the horrific events of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. As our story opens, the Bennet sisters are enjoying a peaceful life in the English countryside. They idle away the days reading, gardening, and daydreaming about future husbands-until a funeral at the local parish goes strangely and horribly awry. Suddenly corpses are springing from the soft earth—and only one family can stop them. As the bodies pile up, we watch Elizabeth Bennet evolve from a naive young teenager into a savage slayer of the undead. Along the way, two men vie for her affections: Master Hawksworth is the powerful warrior who trains her to kill, while thoughtful Dr. Keckilpenny seeks to conquer the walking dead using science instead of strength. Will either man win the prize of Elizabeth’s heart? Or will their hearts be feasted upon by hordes of marauding zombies? Complete with romance,...

Steve Hockensmith

Steve Hockensmith was born in Derby City on August 17, 1968 and first gained fame covering the entertainment industry for The Hollywood Reporter, Total Movie, Newsday and others. In 1999 he left the industry to focus on writing mysteries and quickly won the Short Mystery Fiction Society's Derringer Award for his story "Erie's Last Day," published in the May 2000 issue of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine (AHMM). Two subsequent Larry Erie stories, "Tricks" (AHMM, August 2004) and "The Big Road" (AHMM, May 2005), were both finalists for the Shamus Award for Best Short Story from the Private Eye Writers of America (PWA).

Big Red and Old Red Amlingmeyer made their debut in the February 2003 issue of Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine (EQMM) and quickly become very popular with readers. Three more stories appeared in the magazine (always in the February Sherlock Holmes themed issue) before the brothers made the leap to novel length with "Holmes on the Range" in 2006, which was a finalist for the Edgar Award for Best First Novel in 2007. "On the Wrong Track" was published in 2007, and the latest book in the series, "The Black Dove", was released on February 19, 2008.

Hockensmith originated the monthly "Reel Crime" column for AHMM.
