Jane Austen for the Young and Skeptical

I have recently read two unusual books: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. These two books take Austen's originals and add in pop culture phenomena. While some may view this as a disgrace to the originals, it opens up opportunities for a new generation. I found these books fun, delightful, and quirky (hence the series name: Quirk Classics). I kept thinking to myself that, "these books would be soooo boring without the monsters". However, that is a comment coming from the younger generation. :) Also, be on the lookout for Android Karenina, coming in June!
