Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters expands the original text of the beloved Jane Austen novel with all-new scenes of giant lobsters, rampaging octopi, two-headed sea serpents, and other biological monstrosities. As our story opens, the Dashwood sisters are evicted from their childhood home and sent to live on a mysterious island full of savage creatures and dark secrets. While sensible Elinor falls in love with Edward Ferrars, her romantic sister Marianne is courted by both the handsome Willoughby and the hideous man-monster Colonel Brandon. Can the Dashwood sisters triumph over meddlesome matriarchs and unscrupulous rogues to find true love? Or will they fall prey to the tentacles that are forever snapping at their heels? This masterful portrait of Regency England blends Jane Austen’s biting social commentary with ultraviolent depictions of sea monsters biting. It’s survival of the fittest-and only the swiftest swimmers will find true love! |

Thanks for the heads up! I linked to your blog from mine so others could come check it out, too. This is the first I've heard of this one. These look like so much fun! I hope they venture into other classics like this for our disturbed amusement! :-)

I have a feeling this one will be wildly popular.
This is the first I've heard of this one, but I loved P&P&Zombies, so I'll definitely keep an eye out for it.
Oh lordy. Well, as long as Capt. Wentworth doesn't turn out to be a cthulhu....
Emmy freaked out when she heard the screaming in this video.
Oh wow! This looks like another fun book. I still haven't read the zombies book yet, but I really want to! I will have to add this one to my list as well. Thanks for the heads up!
I just read about this one at Casual Dreads blog!
This sounds like a good one!
The blood splatter at the end was a nice touch.
I haven't read P&P and Zombies yet, but it sounds wonderfully weird and awesome--as does Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. Brilliant!
lol. I like the cover a lot :D
I love the idea of these books :)

I'm not sure how I feel about these books because I don't think I understand how the writing is done--is Jane Austen just credited because it's her original story? Or is her actual text included? Anyway, watched the trailor and it's hilarious. Might just have to cave and see what these books are about.
