A few days ago, I happened to pass by Kyobo Bookstore in Gwanghamun. If you have read my previous posts before, you'll know its one of my favorite places in Seoul. I love to visit there just to look around the stationery section where there are too many cute&artsy stuffs like planners, stickers, pouches, pens, scrapbook materials available. I always have a war with my self whenever I go there, trying my very best to resist buying them. Hihi :D It was just recently that I found out they have foreign books too. Although, the price is a bit higher than in Philippines, I was so relieved to know that I can still buy books from my reading list! And also, I can now have an excuse not to stay in the stationery section too long. Hehez. :-P So as I was browsing over the foreign section, I saw some books from Coelho and Sparks, I know they would have to be there. Also other famous fiction books that I always see in Powerbooks like Murakami's novels, John Green's and Chuck Palahniuk's.
Anyways, I know they were on my list but I was in the mood for reading something with a different plot, and one with a catchy cover. Then I saw this black book sandwiched between some other fiction books entitled Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls. Right after that, I know I have to buy it. However, as I was reading the synopsis, I realized that this book is a prequel to the novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies so I thought I should read that one first, right? When I asked the staff if they have a copy of it, she said it was sold out and would only be available after 2 days, so I would have to wait.
Now I'm just excited to have a copy of this book and see how the classic regency-era of Elizabeth Bennet became a comic novel with all new zombified scenes . :)

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.”
So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield. Can Elizabeth vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you’d actually want to read.
