Four paranormal novellas based on Austen's work.

Almost Persuaded by Mary Balogh Robert and Jane have met and loved in other lifetimes, yet failed each time to choose love over duty, or other impediments. As they look into each other's eyes for the first time, the instant soul-deep recognition and familiarity disturbs and haunts, and the passion that arises cannot be denied. Will they be able to avoid the pitfalls of their former incarnations to find happiness together in this life?

Northanger Castle by Colleen Gleason Caroline sees the characters of her beloved gothic novels everywhere she turns on her first visit to Bath. How surprising then, when her close companions are revealed to be the undead, and her nemesis a master of vampire hunting?

Blood and Prejudice by Susan Krinard Liz Bennet knows Mr. Darcy is after more than her family's pharmaceutical business. To protect her sister Jane and her fiancé Charles, she investigates in England and discovers more than her modern practical mind can imagine.

Little to Hex Her by Janet Mullany Readers know Washington D.C. is a hotbed of odd characters. Mullany's story of the witch Emma and her paranormal dating service fits right in, as do the elves, vampires and weres which abound in this alternate view of the capital.

The brainchild of Susan Krinard, BESPELLING JANE AUSTEN brings together the talents of three writers known in either the historical or paranormal fields to add a touch of otherworld to novellas based on the books of Miss Austen. Rather than the parodies which have become prevalent in recent years, these are stories that stand alone with circumstances and a few names paying homage to her books rather than simply hauling paranormal shrouds around Austen's work. Avery well done, and extremely entertaining read.
