The "stakes" are high and vampires rule when legendary author Jane Austen joins the ranks of the undead in Janet Mullany's bloody wonderful literary mash-up, Jane and the Damned. In the bestselling tradition of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies; Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters; and Mr. Darcy, Vampyre, comes a supremely smart and wickedly fun novel that renders the beloved creator of Persuasion and Emma truly immortal-as Mullany pits a transformed Jane Austen and her vampire friends against savage hordes of invading French!
Raised on a diet of Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen in England, Janet Mullany has worked as an archologist, classical music radio announcer, performing arts administrator, bookseller, and as proofreader and editor for a small press. Her first book, Dedication (2005), the only Signet Regency with two bondage scenes, was followed by the award-winning The Rules of Gentility, published by HarperCollins in 2007 and by Little Black Dress (Headline, U.K.) the following year. She has gone on to write more Regency chicklit for Little Black Dress and paranormals starring Jane Austen for HarperCollins. She lives near Washington, D.C., where she drinks a lot of tea and gives etiquette lessons to a cat.
