Never mind zombies, sea monsters and mummies, aliens are where it's at. Published twice weekly on a website, this is not only a clever spin on a Jane Austen classic, it's also a jolly good sequel in its own right. The writer, the "Real Mrs Darcy", @RealMrsDarcy on Twitter, describes it as
"Not so much Pride and Prejudice's sequel as its bastard offspring following a drunken one-night stand with the X-files."
I couldn't possibly describe it any better than that.
The Real Mrs Darcy also produces occasional YouTuberances to promote said bastardy, the latest of which is here. I defy you not to laugh yourself into a state of the vapours. When you've recovered, do yourself a favour and read some of Mrs Darcy vs. The Aliens. You won't regret it. Probably.

It sounds bonkers enough to warrant further investigation!
ReplyDeleteSounds like interesting reading. Seeing as I am actually classed as an Alien. Yes very interesting.
ReplyDeleteLove your Jane obsessed blog. I also find it funny how they want to mix Jane with a whole bunch of non-human entities.
ReplyDeleteLeft you an award on my site, come on by and pick it up.

O-M-G!! You wonderfully crazy, hilarious lady!! I'm enthralled already. You astound me. I'm racing to keep up. That's me huffing and puffing, leaning against an old lamp post, a stitch in my side, bend over double - (but that's from laughing) Kristi
ReplyDeleteHey Kristi,
ReplyDeleteThanks, but I'm not the wonderfully crazy, hilarious one - that's @RealMrsDarcy! ;)
