Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters expands the original
text of the beloved Jane Austen novel with all-new scenes
of giant lobsters, rampaging octopi, two-headed sea
serpents, and other biological monstrosities.
As our story
opens, the Dashwood sisters are evicted from their
childhood home and sent to live on a mysterious island full
of savage creatures and dark secrets. While sensible Elinor
falls in love with Edward Ferrars, her romantic sister
Marianne is courted by both the handsome Willoughby and the
hideous man-monster Colonel Brandon. Can the Dashwood
sisters triumph over meddlesome matriarchs and unscrupulous
rogues to find true love? Or will they fall prey to the
tentacles that are forever snapping at their heels?
This
masterful portrait of Regency England blends Jane Austen’s
biting social commentary with ultraviolent depictions of
sea monsters biting. It’s survival of the fittest—and only
the swiftest swimmers will find true love!
