"Sense And Sensibility And Sea Monsters" Author Debuts Novel On The Menu

Today on the mediabistro.com Morning Media Menu podcast, hosts Jason Boog of GalleyCat and AgencySpy‘s Matt Van Hoven were joined by author Ben Winters who announced his upcoming book, “Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters,” for the first time.

The Jane Austen mash-up is a follow up to the surprising success “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.” It will be available in September, although you can preorder it today, Winter said. He talked a little bit about “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” and the impetus for his book.

“[Publisher] Quirk has this idea to take a classic novel and mash it up with a monster genre and worked with Seth Grahame-Smith to create ‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,’ which became this real bestseller, one of those surprising and exciting things for a publishing company,” Winter said.
