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
fiancΓ© 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.
