All Is Fair in Love and Octopi

For those who take their classics with a side of ultraviolence, the recently-announced Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters (the latest from the folks who brought you Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) is a required read for its exploration of the triumphs, tragedies, and struggles against murderous aquatic life.  If you've ever wondered why Jane Austen's sharp narrative never included rampaging plesiosaurs, consider your search for the perfect book over.

In this version, sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood find themselves looking for true love on a strange island of savage beasts.  While the sensible Elinor follows a traditional path of courtship, the rash Marianne finds herself enveloped by the literal tentacles of a vicious love triangle.  Will either find the happiness their souls yearn for?  Or are they doomed to become Kraken-food?

Love in this monster mash-up means never having to say "I'm sorry...I don't know how to swim."
